I have pmd you..
Hubby knows someone who has a variety of sizes..
What length do you need,as they can be upto 6m long-Are you actually wanting it for scaffolding(erection) or another purpose?

Hi
I read and replied to your PM before I saw this.
I'm now involved with a theatre group. Scaffolding pole is the universal standard, except it seems in Spain, bar used for hanging spotlights.
That's why I'm after some scaffoling poles, preferably aluminiun as they are lighter than steel ones.
Cheers

Gerry-hubby says-he has erected scaffold stages for productions of local theatres-If it is for an inside performance,a cheaper option is to buy steel scaffold tube,and place a component called a "screw jack" into each end,and use it to span from wall to wall.
If that isnt an option,and you are adament its aluminuim that you require.The contact numbers i have given will be able to sort you out with what you need.Probably cost you around-2.00GBP per foot(not cheap)
steel is much cheaper.

Thanks for the info. I know steel is cheaper but aluminium is a lot lighter. In the UK it costs £9 +vat a metre so it is cheaper in Spain.
Another advantage of living in Spain :D
