When I wanted to build a 20m half wavelength vertical, I found structural
aluminum tube a short drive away at "Everett Pipe & Steel". Note that aluminum
is NOT in their name. But, they had it. I suggest checking w/ local suppliers,
in order to find longer lengths and to avoid stiff shipping costs.The
Yellowpages is a good place to

DX Engineering stocks telescoping tubing in many sizes at very good
prices, but mostly limited to 3' and 6' lengths. I've been considering
their 80m vertical kits. It's pretty hard to beat their prices with DIY
sourced aluminum. Then there is some engineering needed for DIY designs.
On Line Metals onlinemetals.com is stocking some telescoping wall
thicknesses (0.058" but nothing so far in 0.120") and I have found full
lengths are available on order, which DXE couldn't supply. Lucky here,
it's a short drive to the Seattle service center, but I see they are
also in Atlanta and other US cities.
