How much tube for a cage?

[MIG'DHORSE]

Here pretty soon I need to consider getting some tube for an internal cage in my standard cab toyota. Let's say there's a and b pillars, spreaders, a dash bar, and maybe a door bar... how many feet would you estimate I need" (assuming I know what i'm doing and dont waste 3 sticks.)

thanks ahead of time.:awesomework::awesomework::awesomework:

We've used 2 sticks (with some remnants obviously) for main hoop and a halo bar.
I'd expect 4 sticks?
Maybe get away with 3.

Thats what I was thinking.

How can someone else tell you how much you need?

 

[Rix]

By giving a general idea, that's how. :fawkdancesmiley:

On average, I go through a 33lb. spool for an Internal cage. About 37lb's on an exo.

HOLY ****! I just built a 23 foot trailer and didnt go through 30lbs?

An exo eats two thirds more tube than an internal cage. But only 4 more lbs of wire?

You're supposed to notch the tube to fit... :haha:

:redneck::haha:haha i guess he never thought about that... just figured the big gaps were there for him to fill in with welding wire, thats fawkin nuts, i have a 33lb spool and i have welded one complete interrior cage, 90 percent of an exo and half a dozen other projects and i still have wire left....

tyler- if there was a prize for the ultimate web wheeler/big talker you would hands down win that award.:;

a tape measure doesn't calculate what the average leftover or waste is for an average cage build.

thanks for the ideas, guys.

1.75 .120 DOM wooo
