Re: joining fiberglass?

We over come these issues by using 1/4 inch thick fiberglass extrusions, its more weight but a whole heck of a lot stronger. Just try and break it!

Re: joining fiberglass?

Yes, using 1/4" wall will yield an arm more than strong enough for the tetras and rough play. However the weight penalty and the effects on cg are not good. 1/8" wall is much lighter. If the ends are reinforced with tube in tube you can have almost the same strength with a weight savings. Think double butted tubing.
