Looks like 3/4" tubing you can get at the hardware store. It's electrical conduit. Just cut, smash the ends, and drill some holes. If it takes you a few tries, it's cheap.
I used that stuff to mount a garage door opener. Got the idea from a neighbor. I did four pieces. Two angling out from the opener, and two more going across from each side. I could do pullups on the thing, after I got done.
