Store in Reno that sells cheap steel pipes?

Post by Yoshi1223 » Mon Jul 15, 2013 9:02 am

I'm looking to buy 350 steel pipes to make shade structures for my camp. Home Depot has them for $22 per pipe but I was hoping to find something cheaper. Is there a store in Reno you'd recommend that sells 8 and 10 ft steel pipes. Big plus if they would deliver them to the playa too

what youre looking for is a pipe fitting company..

i dont know of any.. but youd probably find them in the 'pipe fittings' section of the yellow pages:

http://www.yellowpages.com/reno-nv/pipe-fittings


some of these places might not sell to people 'off the street' but with a large order they might be willing to do it, for a bit higher price..

call around.

youll surely get better service/selection than home depot.

(theyre very unlikely to deliver.. as they deal mostly with contractors who already got trucks)

they might charge money for cuts.. if i recall correctly the standard size for stuff like that is like 22 feet or something..
Don't link to anything here!

preferrably 158 1inch by 8ft pipes and 192 1inch by 10ft pipes but if no 8ft pipes are available then just 350 1inch by 10ft pipes

Thanks! Those work too! I got referred by a company I called to Western Nevada Supply. they have good prices for pipes and they ship to playa so I'll probably get the 10ft pipes from Lowes and have the Supply Company cut the 8ft ones.
