I hang using old seatbelts or the 3000lb ratchet strap material, that way they can take several hits before breaking.
I own "The Last Stand" and love it. (http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...target-system/)
Have only had one hit on the rebar, but it held and I replaced it at the end of the shooting session. They don't work with Metric rebar, only 1/2" (Not available in Canada), but you could easily make something similar out of a block of wood with some holes drilled in it.

I went with these http://fraservalleytargets.com/produ...ket-stand-only it may look expensive at 125 but I doubt I will ever waste another minute on gong stands again. its simple set-up and easy to use. why waste time and scrounge effort on this when there is lead to find.
What if I moved the plate to hang 6" behind the stand..... would that keep it from getting cut up as quickly?
Group order kept the cost down for us. Dollar was near par too. Unfortunately there isn't anything IN Canada to keep it reasonable.
They are a really great idea, the owner is super responsive (and still emails me to every now and again to see how I'm liking them) and perform just spectacularly, however the cost is too much for one system. My suggestion would be the same as j_06's. Make the corner brackets out of wood.
You'll be surprised how long the wood holds up, my 2x2 legs are still doing well. I added a strip of 1/2"-3/4" plywood on he inside face to sacrifice to the shrapnel. Have yet to replace the plywood or the 2x2's yet.
