[TowerTalk] 2" O.D. Pipe???

[Robert West]

What I've been getting from Home Depot has a heavy weld inside, very
visible.  Seems pretty strong, not springy at all.

I've not seen any fencing that was DOM and I use some of the stuff from 
a commercial source.  All I've seen has a welded seam, but it's almost 
invisible with the galvanizing.  The fencing I've used is very strong, 
but springy.  IOW I get a lot of movement but no set from bending
