Has anyone used Aluminium tube for their Megatree? I am thinking of around 40mm diameter by 3mm thick wall by 6m high. It will slot into a aluminum tube slightly bigger in diameter that has been concreted into the ground.
My questions are:
- what specifications is your Aluminium tube?
- is what I'm thinking an over kill or is it not big enough (diameter and wall thickness) or should I just go for the 50mm x 5 or 6mm wall thickness. I was also trying to keep it light weight.
- we do get high winds in the area.
- I will use guide wire.
I can get the aluminum tube in many different sizes so just trying to pick the best size to use and I was surprised at how cheap it is.
Cheers
