Although we have used conduit for our poles, we plan on using steel pipe in the future. Crystal Narramore taught the canopy class at the last IBAC and recommended only using steel pipe. I have checked out the price at Home Depot and it is very inexpensive and should not bend the way conduit might. Of course it will lean if the base weight in not sufficient. Having done hundreds of canopies of all types we have been quite satisfied using conduit, but can see ourselves improving them by using the steel pipe. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.amexmail.com/?A=1
