source for aluminum pipe?

Post by orly_andico »

hi all

i need some 1" OD aluminum pipe for my truss tubes.. does anyone know where I can buy these?

alternatively there is some broom handle extensions in home DIY which i can probably use in a pinch... but it's rather thin-walled...

Teck Cheong Aluminium (Pte) Ltd. Office - Blk 803, King George's Ave, #01-246/ 248/250, Singapore 200803 Tel. 62949650

I myself found out about them from rlow.

All tubes come in 6 meter lengths but u can ask them to cut to size at no extra charge. Cost about $16.00.
