Source for 2 inch OD galvanized poles

[davemich]

Neither Home Depot or Lowes carry any. Does anybody know a good source to get these?

Try a water line

I just had my pole mounted system installed on Saturday. I bought my 2" OD galvanized Water line at home depot. you could try this .

Try a fence company. I had a leftover pipe (slightly < 2") and used that. I did have to shim it up a little using two wraps of aluminum flashing.

That's exactly what I did.

Did basically the same. I used 1.5" rigid conduit (1.9" OD) with a wrap of .035" flashing.

there is no standard 2" od pipe that i am aware of
both sched 80 and sched 40 are actually 1.9" od
the 2" is a nominal diameter
its like a 2x4, its not actually 2x4 its @ 1.5x3.5

Ditto above.... and a plumbing / pipe company is always a best bet.

Fence company over Home Depot and Lowes. The one we use is $6/pole compared to Home Depots $20/pole. Thicker pole as well.

Local muffler shop down the road works for me. $12 for a 10' section.
