BMW56 12 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Try Steel & Tube Stainless. They will sell direct and are happy to sell part lengths. Not sure where in the country you are, but they have branches in the main centers. They will have various types and finishes. For marine you probably should be asking for T316 round structural tube (sometimes also called 'handrail tube'). Standard wall thicknesses are 1.2mm & 1.5mm. Ask what finishes they have - you want a polished finish rather than linished, which will stain in salt air. You can also get hygienic grade seamless tube if you want to pay a little more, but it's probably overkill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
too_tall 15 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Go for the thickest wall section you can afford. The weight penalty is small. The strength benefit is significant. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
