YORK - need a favour!

[Rockingit]

Story short, I could really use 4 lengths / 12m of bog standard 20mm galv conduit c/w couplers for first thing on Tuesday, in York. And as it’s now Saturday and Monday is the bank holiday I’m short on options from wholesalers. Anybody in the area got any I can buy/scrounge/beer tokens?! Doesn’t even need to be new, just clean. I’m in York from Monday, which is also antisocial.

Increasingly it is supplied in 3m lengths, my wholesaler made some.excuse about fitting in their vans easier when they changed from 3.75 to 3 a few years ago.

I'd be inclined to agree. 3.75 is fine in larger vans, but has to go on the roof of anything with a shorter wheelbase. I'd be quite happy to see 3m lengths, although that would mean extra bundles on larger installation jobs.

Not heavy enough, it needs to have a bit of weight to it to keep the bottom of the cloth straight(ish) And it needs to join together easily so you can get it out again take it apart.

How about rebar with maybe some pvc tube used to push fit join it.

The sewn hem is likely not that large, so you want something that slides in & out easily with minimal steps that might snag. Equally it must withstand a lot of use bringing the cloth in & out possibly many times during performances, and possibly even a bit of bending if the bar the cloth is hung from is not quite level. We use 20mm galv. conduit, and screw/unscrew each section as it it pushed/pulled in/out when hanging/striking the cloth. Probably too much detail for an Electrical forum!
