Here is their general site with information on the system:

Here is where you can get them in the US:

They recommend not going over 9 feet on the struts but I built mine with 10 
foot struts using 2x6 material and BobV! built one with 12 footers (if I 
remember correctly).  Mine is holding up well even with a fair snow load in 
the winter.
