The specs on our pipes are..

789lbs per pipe
.687? Wall Thickness.

You don't even want to imagine the price of tubes that big. I could buy a
house (and a much nicer house then the one I live in currently) for the cost
of those three tubes.

I can imagine, I once went to a plumbing supply
and got a 13-foot section of 12" id. Had a .35"
wall and weighed close  to 120 lbs, very awkward
and difficult to move with 1 person. For those
that love doing it acrylic I found some up to 650
x 2065mm (26x81" with .2" wall on this side of
the pond) here, afraid to ask the price tho, prob
1k$+:

Now if one could find a US supplier that would be nice.

We won't be winding the entire length, that's how long they come from the
factory. We will have to allow space at the top and bottom for mounting and
topload, as well as space at the top for hoisting (you can't lift these by
hand).

Isn't that about twice the optimum length?
