[TowerTalk] Gin Pole Mast

[Gerry Smith]

First of all, you don't want "pipe". You want aluminum TUBING. You want 2"
inch OD aluminum tubing, 6061-T6, 1/4 inch wall.

It is not prohibitively expensive or that costly to ship.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Gin Pole Mast

I have been feverishly looking for a 12ft piece of aluminum to use as a gin 
pole mast.  I need a 2" OD pipe.  Looks like shipping costs are outrageous.

I'm in the Houston area.  Have contacted Great Western here in Tx, but they 
don't carry any aluminum "pipe", only flat bar, etc.

Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Jason
