If you were in the southwest I would suggest Industrial Metal Supply. Look for someone like them near you. I would also consider .12" wall steel over aluminum.

IMS is great, I was just there a couple of hours ago. I needed a length of 3' OD steel to install a DX Engineering pivot base for a vertical I'm building. I wanted a seven foot length. They didn't bat an eye or tell me that I had to buy the whole 20', they just chopped it off and sold it to me.

I'm in need of a 2 in OD mast pipe for my Gen Pole . I was looking at EMT but I see the wall thickness is .065 . I will be lifting 115LB's , I will have a pulley at the bottom of the tower so the rope will be pulling striate down .. I'm not sure if EMT is strong enough for this job ? Anyone have a recommendation , something better then EMT . 2 inch OD 1/8 wall aluminum in a 10ft length is hard to find .

Thanks Ed N5DG
