My 4 element SteppIR has been happily sitting on an aluminum mast for 5 years now. It's up on a Hazer, which is a fairly flimsy thing, and with the SteppIR being fairly heavy, I don't need the additi

Tony, I know this has been said before but be sure you get 2" tubing not 2" pipe. Tubing is measured in outside diameter and pipe is in inside diameter. Also, be sure it is 6061-T6 alloy. Some other

No, pipe is not measured by inside diameter. Pipe is also measured in outside diameter. However, the pipe comes in a nominal "iron pipe size" that corresponds to a specific outside diameter that is d

Hey Rick, Thanks for your post but may I beg to differ. We are talking about aluminum pipe and aluminum tube. Here are the facts. 2" aluminum schedule 40 pipe is 2.375" OD and 2.067" ID. 2" aluminum

Admittedly no numbers here, but I'd sure use galvanized water pipe, UNLESS there's a local junkyard where you might find something else. Water pipe is heavier than the fencepost, I think. It that 4'

Yet the section modulus of the 2.875" x .25" wall tube is a helluva lot bigger than my 2" x .375" mast. It's that radius to the fourth power thing... For a given mass of metal, the strongest column w

Not at all. I've seen it done. The only caveat is don't hit it quite straight, or squeeze a bit before impact. You can easily smash a can holding in in one hand with out a lot of force and slamming i

Tubing usually means the OD is measured in fractional inch increments, usually 1/16", eg 2", 2.25" etc. Pipe usually means conforming to the Inch Pipe Standards - the inch "size" e.g 2" is not 2" od

A good alternative to schedule 40 pipe is the tubing used nowadays for fence top rails, known as SS40. It's lighter (thinner wall) but stronger and actually less expensive than galvanized sch. 40 pip
