Help please?

[g0ibi]

Have been to 4 builders merchants trying to buy some 160mm (6") piping!! I need a metre to finish my pier and can only find one place that wants to sell 6m at £50!! Can anybody help please??

eBay. Yes really. A single metre for eight quid. Postage was a bit steep on the one I found, but still a hell of a lot less than fifty quid to include 5m you don't want! Try searching for 150mm tube or ducting or pipe. Should find what you want.

6" is pretty rarely used in general building it's mainly 4", you'd be better off trying to buy some of the ground workers on a site, I'm sure they'd cut you a bit off for a couple of quid.

Alternativley if there's any gas main works going on in the street they use some large pipe.

Or be inventive make up some shuttering and pour a square pier or a hexagonal!
