: PS: We're gonna do it, 12" inches or not

So are we (but not necessarily all the time).

We assumed that the 18" figure is to the top of the schedule 40 pipe. The diameter of the pipe is 1 5/8" (the 1 1/4" figure is only inside diameter). There is also a 4x4 on the ground, which is really 3.5" x 3.5".

This works out so that the gap is 12.875"
