Pier Size

GDay members,

I’ve been reading about pier properties. Diameter, thickness, material.

I had settled on a steel pier, but I’m getting contradictory advice.
Can I have your thoughts on if a steel tube, 140mm diameter, 6mm thick would be suitable for a pier? It will be filled with sand or pebbles, not concrete. And attached to an existing concrete slab with bolts. The top will have a bird cage type setup for an AZEQ6 mount.

I was initially going with 160mm@8mm but the vendor said this smaller tube would be sufficient.

Thanks

Hemi
