Aluminum pipe

[trollhole]

I'm looking to put a tower similar to wakeboard tower on my center console boat and a bikini top just won't do. I want to make it out of aluminum but I cannot find a place that doesn't sell the pipe for a reasonable price. Any suggestions on where I could find some. I have a welder that can do the work for me. Looking for 2-3 inch aluminum pipe. Anybody have any Ideas.

Assuming you have an aluminum kit for your mig?<br /><br />As far as where to get the pipe, Where do you live?

Re: Aluminum pipe

You can purchase Aluminum online or go to a local scrap metal dealer. It does tend to be exspensive when purchased new but many shapes of extruded aluminum are available.<br /><br /> https://secure.n2net.net/midlandxpr...=6061-T6+Aluminum+Structural+Pipe+Schedule+40 <br /><br />What ever you build be sure to desing an adaquate base and monting system for it.<br /><br />Bob
