Title: Rainbow Arches
Post by: mararunr on June 16, 2015, 09:11:31 PM: Using XL4 to do a little Rainbow Arches testing tonight (and a little 7 node Ray Wu strobe action - finally solved my frustration with Ray Wu strobe nodes - bundle 'em in 7 and they are pretty bright).

Let me know if you did NOT see picture and I will find somewhere else to post (and I do appreciate the heads up). Also if you are on some of the Facebook groups, I have posted the video there.

HDPE. I bought a 100ft roll from McMaster Carr that I'm probably not going to use after all. If you are interested let me know. It's too big to ship, so pick up only. I live in Southeast Alabama.

Hey Loren_Yarbrough

I am in Central Fl if you want to split the roll I would meet you.

Post by: Phrog30 on June 20, 2015, 10:37:53 AM: I'm in Dothan. Here is what I purchased:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#50375k64/=xpha3s (http://www.mcmaster.com/#50375k64/=xpha3s)
It looks like the price is the same as what I paid, $1.89 a foot. I would like to get that, I would obviously eat the shipping/freight I paid.

It's still rolled and shrink wrapped.

Post by: bpducman on June 20, 2015, 11:34:14 AM: About how large is the roll and a guess on the weight?

Thanks
Title: Re: Rainbow Arches
Post by: Phrog30 on June 20, 2015, 11:41:59 AM: It's about 5' in diameter, the roll is approximately 8" high. The weight is a guess, maybe 40lbs. It was delivered freight because of the unusual size, not weight. It should fit in most pickup trucks and I would assume a minivan if at an angle.

That may work as I would only need 50' of the roll

Post by: kevinp on June 20, 2015, 04:44:18 PM: I'm using this same tubing for my arches this year. I too ordered it from McMaster-Carr. I asked for a quote for shipping purposes, which came back at $8. I thought why not for that price. Imagine my surprise when I see the actual invoice of $76 for shipping alone! And I only ordered 30 feet of the tubing and it was coiled up about 6' in diameter for me.

Post by: bpducman on June 20, 2015, 04:51:38 PM: I got hold of McMaster today, and they told me $18.00 to ship 2 25' pieces and 4 10' pieces. I questioned she on the amount and asked her to give me a firm amount on Monday before they ship. we shall see.

Post by: bpducman on June 20, 2015, 04:57:59 PM: Hi Phrog30,

Thanks for the size info.

I have a relative that lives on lake martin, if I can't work a deal out with McMaster then I may have my relative step in if you still have it and come pick it up.

Brad
Title: Re: Rainbow Arches
Post by: kevinp on June 20, 2015, 07:03:30 PM: If you have that $18 dollars in writing, then they should honor it. In the end I paid $10 for shipping since I questioned the charges after they told me one amount and charged me another.

Weird on the shipping. The invoice for shipping always comes after the purchase. It took a few days to get a shipping invoice. Several others have had the save experience. It's quite different when it's freight vs parcel.

Sure, just let me know.

Absolutely love lake Martin, one of the best lakes around.
