nightbreed 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2010 Hi, does anyone know where to buy galvanised pipes? I need several lengths of them plus elbows and t-joints. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gladyslim 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 Are you referring to water pipe? There is galvanise sheet, if you need pipe other than water pipe, you need to send the pipe to galvanise. Normal paint does not stick well on galvanise finishing. It is not easy to weld and powdercoat too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to make a bike stand for my two bicycles. Like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Bicycle-Repair-Stand/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no threading on the pipe, without tap and reamer, how you join it? and you need a pipe cutter to cut the pipe. too Maybe you can try conduits, the one for electrical wiring use.

No threading? There goes my plan. Looks like I have to spend lots more money to get a bike stand. Thank you gladyslim for the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I have a false ceiling and I've been advised against doing this for fear of damaging it. Thanks for the reference, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
