Couldn’t you put two 3’ together with screw and bolt? Also, I have the same issue of screws into the aluminum. Mine is close to 30 years old and the screws no longer hold. Retap a few, with larger screws. But, what I have gone with the past two seasons is heavy duty tie wraps. Hold very well. Not expensive. Available in many lengths.
