Hi,

drifted over from uk.tech.digital-tv back to the more generalised DIYers :-)

About to fit a new TV aerial to a chimney.

I have scaffolding erected (also doing other work to chimney) so I should
have safe access.

I am (as usual) working my way around Screwfix et. al. to source my
components over the Internet.

However nobody seems keen to post me a 12' pole to use as a TV mast.

I have got the following prices from a local aerial firm.

10' by 1.5" pole - £15
20' by 2" pole - £34

The 20' price seems a little steep for just an alloy tube, but then again
this is a larger diameter than sink waste pipes so is a pretty hefty piece
of kit.

Any suggestions for alternative sources of 2" alloy pipe (perhaps cut to
length) where you may not be charged a premium because it is a TV mast?

TIA

Dave R
