Barn door joint question

I am making up 2 doors for a barn, gonna be hinged on one side and swing open like a normal set of doors. Anyway I have a design but just wondering if I should be chamfering the edges of the tubing before welding. Or will a butt weld be strong enough? 2”x2” 1/4 and 3/16 aluminum. Was going to spoil gun weld it due to the amount of welds I have to do. All 4 sides of every joint will be welded.

If your welds are good, and you preheat it, chamfering not needed.
