    I have a couple of these of holders. One of these two I found laying in the road several months ago. I saw the writing on it and thought it was mine until I opened it and it wasn’t rods I would use in it. By the handwriting I can’t tell which is mine and which is the one I found.

    I may have done the exact same thing :anonymous: I'd never admit it though.

    They are the online side to J.W. Goodlife out of Linden NJ.

    They can sell so close to cost because of no Overhead everything gets shipped form manufactures warehouses .

    I can always get better prices from my local dealers if you do business with them.

    Manufactures Warranties are honored no matter who you buy from .

    Met up with @Shmellmopwho this morning to get my bike rack welded on. Great work. I was originally gonna paint it black. But I’m digging the contrast of the raw metal. What’s a good rattle can clear coat that can be used to keep the raw metal? Don’t want it to rust on me.

    Spraymax 2k clear. There is no other exception. You won't use any other type of clear coat after you use spraymax.

    I've only purchased it from either Amazon, Walmart online or automotivetouchup.com.

    I haven't found it locally yet but I am sure you should be able to locate it with enough phone calls lol

    This pandemic BS is just pathetic..... I'm looking to fab some monkey bars for my 4 year old. And maybe the whole freaking playground.
    What would be the cheapest route?

    Black pipe?
    Regular hot rolled HREW tubing?
    Diameter?
    Thoughts on thickness?

    First idea is square 2X2 main pillars and 1in dia tubes.

    Bunch of stuff
    I did mine out of crap I had sitting around.

    I think 1x2 rectangle tube for the sides and 1-1.25” round tubing for the bars would be perfect. All .090 or .120 wall would be plenty strong enough for the kids to play on
