Any help would be greatly appreciated as we were hoping to build a pyramid of our own to do some testing on.
Can't really give you a part number, but we got some black iron 1.25 piping. We built a team version. Pro tip? Wield the thing if you can. Team version is rickity as ****. Ended up buying $75 worth of guy wire and turnbuckles to reduce the torque. Vastly stronger now. (Second hint - we're not climbing inside.)
