If I remember correctly, Menards sells 2 3/8" pipes for chain link posts that are fairly heavy for a decent price, that I've used in the past for big dishes.

Right now we're just getting at Menards but their heavy duty stuff is really expensive. We buy the thin-wall emt but for these we would like stronger pipe but seeing if there's a cheaper place than the big box stores like Home Depot and Menards.

We haven't used them before but we got some for a 20-mile link and we're adding RF Armor as well so they're quite heavy. What are your recommendations for a mount for these and any additional bracing to make sure they don't blow back and forth. Is a 2" pipe enough for the bracket on these?
