Do stores like Home Depot sell large diameter PVC tubes for a reasonable price? I'm looking to make something along the lines of a lift tower or barrel, but don't know where to get a big PVC tube. And the stuff I have found is a shitload of money. Anybody have any ideas?

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was actually looking for something bigger maybe around a foot to foot and a half in diameter?

I've also been looking, metal ones are super expensive, the cheapest plastic thing that size is gonna be a corrugated pipe(not ideal, also still not that cheap). PVC that big is also pricey since you need very thick walls for it to be strong enough.

Ya seems like it. I'll check out some construction sites and Home Depot and just go smaller if I can't find anything. I will probably end up with some corrugated but I was really hoping for something smooth.

i think people usually either drop lots of $$$ or steal them from construction sites.

Ya I don't have that kind of $$$ and not too many construction sites that are big enough to steal anything from. Thanks though
