PVC Pier?
I have a 1M length of uPVC storm water pipe, 177mm (7") diameter with 10mm thick wall. It weighs a ton for it's size, maybe 10kg. (my digital scale tops out at 6.2kg)
So, is PVC okay as a pier material?
Can anyone provide reasons why it is NOT suitable?
Also, I'm planing to build a portable pier that I can lug to dark skies, so filling it with sand is not an option.
However, I was thinking of making it sealed so I can fill it with water on site, then dump the water when packing up to head home, does this sound realistic? (ignore the fact it needs 19L water to fill!)
Thanks.
