Is anyone aware of a national supplier of steel scaffold tube (maybe
online?) or would it be easier/cheaper to trawl round a few scaffold
erectors?

The tube has to be brand new and unused - preferably a full length
(6m?) 5m long would do at a push.

Presumably it`s not for scaffolding,so go to your nearest BSS and get
a length,6.1 metres of 1.1/2" nominal bore steampipe.This is just
under 2" outside dia.Comes galvanised or black enamel finish and is
infinitely cheaper.

Delivery will be expensive for single tube... try these..
http://www.scaffoldingsupplies.co.uk/ at £1 per foot. I bought
5000feet of used on ebay last year. It's not new, but as new. If you
live near BS21 you can have one for a few quid.

Thanks, infinitely cheaper sounds zero cost to me although I doubt it
will be. Any indication of costs?

Transporting it home might be a bit of a laugh - almost tempting to do
a James May and put a sail on a soft top car!
