I'm putting up a satellite dish and I need a 12' 3.5" OD pole, would Home
Depot sell this? I don't want to go to a plumbing store, $$$. I called
some places in the phone book under scrap metal and they said they had
nothing like that. Any ideas?

Go the a plumbing supply house. They are not as high prices as you may
think.

IIRC, most poles for that sized dish have to be sunk about 4' deep.
Consider renting an auger to dig the hole.
