Title: Source for 7/8 304 stainless tube other than West Marine?
Post by: polecat on May 29, 2008, 03:19:27 PM
I want to build a small arch to hold a good sized solar cell and my vhf antenna.
Also thinking of moving the traveler back there too.

You might try OnlineMetals.com (http://onlinemetals.com).  In the past, I've found their prices competitive with other suppliers and they will cut-to-length if you need an oddball size.

Thanks Captain Smollett
They had everything I want and saved $91 over what I had previously found.
28' of 7/8 tube and 8' of 3/16x1.5 bar.
