[QUOTE="Trevor, post: 1141018, member: 15999"] I don't know where you are getting your prices, but $9 a foot is OUTRAGEOUS!!!! Price around, it should be almost half of that. Also, maybe consider using 1.5" or 2" tubing. Both are more common in manufacturing, so that means those sizes are more readily available, and generally cost less. As far as using DOM versus HREW, we have used both. The main difference that we noticed, is that the HREW dents easier. If you can, maybe get some of each. Use the DOM for exterior tubes that will likely be hitting rocks, and use HREW on interior tubes. However, I don't think the cost difference is going to break the bank, and you might just want to use all DOM. [/QUOTE]
