- Construction supply houses sell stiff-walled tubing in many sizes,
- from about 8" diameter up to several feet in diameter. Wall thickness
- is from 1/4" up, but the tubing is really stiff, don't let the thickness
- (thinness) fool you. It's used for concrete forms for columns on
- overpasses and such.

- I got some at Berke Construction Supply in Oakland.
- (Maybe it's spelled Birk or Birke or something). Sonotube is one type,
- BekeTube is what it's called at Berke.
