So I found a tube on craigslist, 13ft, 12inch diameter schedule 40. But it will almost be impossible for me to transfer it to my house without cutting it in half. The dude wont deliver either.
So if i cut it in half, and kind of make a bit of a kink in the tube at 6ft, would that work/does anyone have experience with doing something like that? Thinking of supporting it with "U" shaped supports.
Thanks and +K for quick good answers.
is def not too long to get to your house. If it was 20 plus I'd say maybe. 6.5 sections are too short imo.
Keep it 13'
Tie it to the roof of your car, have it hanging out the bed of a pickup. If somebody has an suv or pickup with a cap on it, open the uper glass part of the door and hang it out there. Maybe tie the door back down to add some pressure to keep it in there,
How far do you have to go? I'm just saying that I would not cut that thing at all. Even 13' is not that long. You're not going to want that seem in there. Even if you get it nice, perfectly smooth and one solid piece is better.
Just my $.02 though
I have a small jeep and can get a 13fter to my house. I bring the very front passenger seat as low as it goes, bring back the back rest all the way down and put the front up there, and then have the end stick out of my trunk, and tie down the trunk with bungy cords. My tube was 12ft with 12inch diameter. I did hold it with one hands while driving a little to keep it from shifting a tiny bit. It was diaganal in my car if you can't picture it yet. Front was up in the passenger seat, the back was hanging out my trunk behind the left backseat. (the back seats were down)
