 Sp> Thinking about putting together a timber frame to mount this stuff in,

I did that years ago.  Got some metal rack bits so I would have the proper spacing, and tied them together with 2x4s.  Made a 21U open rck for about $50.  Got the rack bits from PartsExpress.com.

Ubiquiti.  You will have to install the Unifi Controller on a Windows machine, but you only require it for configuration of the APs, or if you're going to do stuff like RADIUS authentication.  Once they are configured, you can shut down the UniFi controller software and only use it when you need to upgrade firmware or change settings.

Nice thing about UniFi is that it's *almost* enterprise-grade gear but you OWN it...No recurring fees like with Cisco, HP, etc.  Been using UniFi APs for years and they are great.  Give them a look at https://ui.com/wi-fi
