I need steel or iron rod stock of 1/2 to 3/4 inch diameter for
a project this weekend. In case I can't find this at Home Depot
or Lowe's, where should I go? If steel plumbing pipe of these
outside diameters is still sold these days, it would be acceptable.
The essence of my project (it's too complicated to describe further)
is that I'll be fabricating lawn ornaments that will have cores
of this rod. They'll be up to eight feet tall and be driven
into the ground as far as I can pound them.

I was in Home Depot last week, and saw both regular rebar as well as
smooth steel bar stock in all lengths. Lowe's doesn't carry nearly as
large a selection as HD in their concrete section.

If you can't find it there, look up "Steel" in your Yellow Pages. If
that doesn't work, any local welding shop will probably have what you
need.
