TL;DR: 12" diameter 10' long corrugated culvert pipes are available for $120 at Tractor Supply Company. Longer Story: I wanted to tube to store the sails. I could not find a tube seller for under 200 dollars per 20ft pipe. I initially planned to DIY a series of 5 large HDPE storage bins end-to-end to make a closable sail box, but it would be sketchy at best: not a viable road-trip worthy box. All in, It would cost about 80 dollars, with many hours of cutting and riveting.... At the last minute I decided to look for feed-troughs for horses/pigs and see if there are cheap options- and that led me to TSC (Tractor Supply) which is selling 12" x 10' culverts for 120 dollars. I can end cap it with lids from a 5 gallon buckets, or a wood plug. Yey! |
