I've seen it before, I know they make it. But for the life of me, I can't find ANY suppliers.

Anyone have any thoughts on where to find it?

TIA

One more thought, it DOESN'T have to be PVC, I'm making an Aeroflow system, so any root friendly substitue will do, just needs to be 5 to 6 inches square.

those ebay ones are the right price, but are they good quality? why is one brown and one not in the pictures, how do you know if it's solid wall or the other... nice find though, very cool!

Read the auction. The brown one is there to compare to the ones he's selling. If you read the ad copy he says, "Our posts are not co-extruded and are solid wall."

Woohooo, just got back from Home Depot and you put me on the right track, it dawned on me I'd seen their fencing stuff outside but didn't pay it much mind. They have EXACTLY what I'm looking for. 5" x 5" x 8' acrylic or whatever (looks like PVC to me). $23 each (plus a couple of $2 caps each) MUCH better.

Thanks for all the input

this looks like a good one to me, they have all types of PVC for sale and they will cut it for you if you need 9 foot or less size pieces...

I tried homedepot this weekend and the selection sucked. nothing left but 4 inch crap. i guess i need to go after a truck comes in...

I'll need to get my hands on a camera. I just finished building it. I didn't go with the SOG (eight 8 foot pieces). I bought two posts and split them now I have a four piece setup (each being 4 foot). I ran two lines, one down each side inside next to the baskets, each line will be pushed by a seperate pump (total of 2 pumps), so if one goes down, they don't DIE ;-) The current system will hold 28, would be 32, but I am leaving the last spot on each section for a clean out just above my drain. I'd have to do some math to be exact, but I'd say I built it for around $100 (without any reservoir stuff, probably another $100 or so).

If I like this, I will then go for the 8x8 (about 120 ladies).

I will get some PICS asap and will post them on this thread.

later, it's 5am, got to get some sleep.

Thanks again everyone.
