Tower project materials needed

Hey guys, I want to build a half tower for my 22' walk-around but I am having trouble finding a source for 1.5" and 1" anodized aluminum pipe (sch. 40). I live in the Tampa FL area, does anyone out there have any idea where to get it? I need about 30' of the 1.5" and about 15' of the 1". Thanks

Your local welding shop will be able to order the stuff you need. If you're in need of strength and a salt water environment, then you want 6061 T-6. It's weldable and durable. If you have a lot of bending to do and strength isn't as big a consideration then you want 6361 T-6.
