[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 736404, member: 325666"] Hi friends .. Its raining costantly here at the moment and the clouds are thick and grey .. but there is now a bit of sunshine in my heart 10am this morning my mate who I haven't seen or heard from since before I got ill last year ...pulled up in a van with a 9ft pole. It turns out its not the exact same stuff he sold me 20 years ago .. ITS BETTER ;) Granted it aint powder coated black on the outside ..so I will have to paint and treat it myself... but its still 3.5 inch external diameter ...and 1cm thick wall He said its something called Shed3 pipe intended for presurised gas systems.. one end is screw threaded and has a cap ...but I cant use this end inside the sleeve fitting of the polar mount as it effectively increases the diameter of the pipe. so.. I envisaged the screw cap end in the ground ...and an expanding foam plug in top end ... What do you think guys ? hes also brought me 3 mammoth U bolts to go around the pipe .. So I can use 2 of them above ground to mount support struts to the walls ...and one below ground to mount an anti twist bar inside the concrete foundation.. rgds VS ;) [/QUOTE]
