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).

Did you see the picture...if so, click on picture and video will start playing.
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.

Thanks Sean

I really like the way you grouped the arches into a "mega arch" so to speak. That looks really cool.

WOW,
Those puppy's could do some serious damage to the old I-Ball's 8)

Can you tell us what material the arches made from?

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.

I am interested. I travel frequently all over Bama. What city? Price?

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

I'm in Dothan. Here is what I purchased:

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.

About how large is the roll and a guess on the weight?
Thanks
-
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, this was my experience too.

Sure, just let me know.
Absolutely love lake Martin, one of the best lakes around.
