Depending on shipping, 2826 is good for 128' (assuming 16 @ 8'ea)
We used this as our new "Wonder material" this year, allowing us to do some awesome structures for very little weight.
We pretty much bought this from:
Online metals - Big ripoff. They sourced from Alcoa directly but their finishing (cut to length) and packaging was awful. Literally 13 of the 25 @ 4' I ordered was severely scratched, dented or downright mauled.
Amazon - Small parts substore has it, but they are pretty pricey. I needed 2 quickly and it's hard to beat Prime shipping
McMaster - At 3.25 per ft, it's a bit less expensive than Adam's but it is 6063 (

Now if you find a source for 2x2x063, please let me know...
