Buying Truss poles

Guys
I'm building a 20" and need to buy 8 ft poles.
Is there someplace I can order them from? Lowes Home Improvemnet sells what I want for $2.25 per ft, $18 a tube. I was just wondering if there is anyplace cheaper.


Thanks for the help,

Hi Bill,

Moonlite carries truss poles which they anodize. I don't think they will be cheaper than $18 a pole, though. Considering postage & handling and the logistics of shipping an 8 foot piece of tubing, a local purchase sounds better & better!

You probably won't get many responses to this query. Most folks wouldn't touch this topic with a 10 foot pole! 8)

Not sure whether you have a metal sales yard there, but here we have a place that sells aluminum, stainless steel and steel including tubing. The cost is pretty good, not exactly sure on the cost though. But they have all lengths and sizes.

Thanks for all the help guys.
Texas Towers will not ship anything longer then 6'.

I found Aircraft Spruce. They have east & west coast locations. They are great to work with and had everything in stock. They shipped the same day. The price was excellent also.
