ahhh tube doors...

maybe a possibility, but it would not be rigid enough for any real use with this tubing I have, could make a mock up though...





a pre-runner bar for my bumper might work though. I'd need someone with a welder for that however.

Lawn Furniture.

Seriously 3/4" diameter (or even square) is not a very stout cross section for structural items, even it if is thick. Even an 1/8 wall thickness for a lightbar will be a little flimsy.

Doors (LOL)

most of this stuff is thicker than 1/8", it was being used to hang rows of sledgehammers/axes/shovels. so it is pretty sturdy. I took a good hard baseball swing at an I-beam at work and barely dented it, so I'm pretty sure it is stable enough for a lightbar, especially if It is braced/built to look like a brush deflector. sort of like the one durangotang made.


about 4 pieces were being used to hold rakes/hoes, so it is the thin-walled stuff.

anyone in east ohio have a welder and a tube bender?

*edit* I believe it is 3/4" inner Dia.

Ah, sounds like you have some 3/4" pipe, some schedule 40 and some 80.

I'm also not sure if it is galvanized steel or aluminum...

it has been in a non-climate-controlled area in a warehouse for 12+ years and i cant find any rust that wasnt from the screws holding it to the rack, at least as far as I've inspected so far.

*edit* it also might be Rigid Conduit

:shock:

If it is suprisingly light, its aluminum. It would weigh 1/3 that of steel, roughly. Almost like plastic.
