OOPS. for some reason the msg did not follow for the post
Here is what the reply to my query:
fiberglass would be some 30% lighter weight, stronger
but about 4 times more flexible than Aluminum. And
more expensive. This may be a problem.
Available in 2" ID in 30 ft lengths, with threaded
ends for connections or with plain ends.
Let me know if interested.
