i need a 10” pvc pipe and i’m not gonna rob a construction site because i don’t have any near me. do some stores carry them? fw webb perhaps? how much would it be?
If your talking sch 40 it’s pretty expensive, try and ask a contractor who buys in bulk to sell you one., we always have more or nowhere near enough and have to get another delivery anyway so wouldn’t miss a few, I for one wouldn’t mind, try asking a crew at a housing development etc...
Buying this shih bn is going to set you back a few hundred...best bet is to reach out to local construction companies or craigslist/facebook. Quick search says a guy has some in NH. You mentioned you live in Castleton? Me and a homie ended up reaching out to Belden Co in Rutland when I lived there. They hooked us up with some free pipe in which they just had a huge stock pile of scraps, be nice when reaching out tho.

sullivanobrien_i sent an email to belden and checked out the listing but it’s about a 100 mile drive and my parents definitely aren’t going for that
Unless you are willing to poach some from a construction site you're either going to have to dish out some dough or drive a lil bit. 2hr's isn't really that bad, if a homie has a truck, grab some straps and toss in some gas money you're looking at $100 max. Maybe see if the seller is willing to drive it out but highly doubt it. Peep facebook marketplace too. Poached all my tubes pretty much, 10/10 would do it again
Well if you can't get 10", this width works well. My brothers and I learned many tricks on it over like 13 years and it's stillgoing. We've rebuilt the wooden frame probably 4 times.

yeah i’m 14 so facebook marketplace doesn’t work for me and i don’t have 16+ year old friends with trucks but i’m holding out hope for belden to be cool with that or having a store with it for under 100$

^this...you can build two 8ft pvc rails out of some 2x4's for like under $60 if you already have some tools. you'll probably even progress quicker because you have to be more agile and percise on a narrower rail

i have a 10 foot pvc flat bar already but i want to also have a tube

Yeah the main issue is it's a bit scarier to spin on to. Skinny rails are easier to spin out of though and you're probably not going to be spinning on to anything until you're super comfortable on the rail anyway.

If you can't find a tube though, make a shotgun/double barrel rail out of two skinnier rails and voila, you have a wider sliding surface with round edges. Or even take 3 skinny rails next to each other and make the middle one a few mm proud (raised above the others). This will give you a surface that feels similar to a wider tube.
I asked a construction business my dad is friends with and they have tubes of all sorts in their scrap and are pretty likely to give you some if you ask nicely.
check your local craigslist for culvert and pvc pipe. Years ago i bought a 20' long 12" diameter schedule 80 (THICC) PVC pipe and the guy delivered it to my house. shit weighed like 250-300 lbs. So worth it, i got really good at rails those next few summers.
