I was thinking of something like this
The radii all from tube.
However it could be expensive and a bit long-winded to do it that way. As you only need short sections, the lower pieces would definitely need to be different tube sizes, and it would be hard to get in part lengths (6m minimum, usually) Instead, the sides and lower half-pipe could be rolled easily enough from sheet and the upper sections could be fabbed from cut tube.
The upper radii could all be from the same size tube, as long as there is an allowable gap between them( as the same sized radius won't nest)
The material can be quite thin as that box profile is very strong.
I'd love to help on a job like this, but I'm a) busy b) don't have ready access to slip rolls and c) probably not in-budget, although if you have a budget, PM me as it's by no means unfeasable, time and requests to a pal permitting.
