Does anybody know were you can buy the steel tube that the deck stands are made from?
I think its 30 x 30 x 1.5 mm.

I am after a couple of short lengths roughly 2½` long so I can bolt pin-spots on to it.

Am sure I posted a link to a company on here a while back that does all the bits n pieces that make up the deck stands but cannot think for the life of me were it was posted or what the link was :rolleyes:

When I've put together home-made attachments in the past, B&Q has always served me well. There's a range of round, square, L and flat alu/steel/iron in various lengths usually on the aisle with screws nuts & bolts etc.

I would have gone for aluminium rather than steel, it is lighter and doesnt rust.

Thanks fellas, I guess it is box section but only lite gauge.
If am to worry about it rusting then am in trouble as lights will be attached lol.
If not already coated ill get some smooth right satin black and spray it

Thanks for the advice fellas, I got some from B&Q today and exactly the right size and length too.
