Is anyone aware of a national supplier of steel scaffold tube (maybe
online?) or would it be easier/cheaper to trawl round a few scaffold
erectors?


The tube has to be brand new and unused - preferably a full length
(6m?) 5m long would do at a push.


Local scaff and some £££s in yer hand


Presumably it`s not for scaffolding,so go to your nearest BSS and get
a length,6.1 metres of 1.1/2" nominal bore steampipe.This is just
under 2" outside dia.Comes galvanised or black enamel finish and is
infinitely cheaper.


Thanks, infinitely cheaper sounds zero cost to me although I doubt it
will be. Any indication of costs?

Transporting it home might be a bit of a laugh - almost tempting to do
a James May and put a sail on a soft top car!
