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.


Thanks. As it turns out, I ended up using 1/2-inch PVC pipe. When I
got to Lowe's, I tried flexing one and realized it would probably
be stiff enough to pound into the ground. So I bought one
for a proof-of-principle experiment. It has the added
attraction that when loaded with the wood objects that constitute
my sculpture, it sways in the wind.
