[TowerTalk] Looking for alternative sources for fiberglass spreaders

[Gene Smar]

Dee-Dub:
 
     When I was a  Novice licensee and dreamed of building a cheap quad (which never happened), I read of using bamboo poles as spreaders.  The intent was to wrap each pole in fiberglass tape to impart some weatherproofing.  It was suggested in these various sources that local rug and carpeting stores might be a source.  Of course, that was 5 decades ago and rugs may not come wrapped around bamboo anymore.

I want to experiment with building a 2-element half-WL wire-beam for

I know that Cubex sells fiberglass poles I could use for spreaders.
Does anyone know of any other sources for fiberglass poles?

Thanks
