Re: Best Practices for Not Crushing Thin-Wall Tubing
wood in the tube, I have been doing this for years. Typically during the field construction, I will rip down some .875x.875 square dowels from 2x4 for this purpose. The wood adds less weight than going to thicker wall tubing but provides plenty of crush support.
We actually did this last year with some fiberglass square profiles also, to provide a better surface for mounting a bushing all the way through the tube. |
