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?

Thanks
Mike

btw I'm in the DC area

Take a drive down to Annapolis and check out the rigging and boat
yards, particularly over in Eastport along both sides of Back Creek.
Sounds like you could use a piece of somebody's cast-off aluminum mast
section. There is a fair bit of it lying around in the yards out
there -- ask around, you'll probably find somebody to sell you a
length for not too much money, since it wouldn't be much good for
anything else.

Regards,

Bob
