There seems to be no tube of any sort anywhere unless it is 4". The commercial major suppliers of steel only sell tube up to 6 mm wall thickness which, you guessed it, comes from China! (cheapest cost tube) You can get the aussie steel but be ready for the 30% increased bill at the end.

I got my pier made up with that wall thickness. In fact I think it might be 13mm thick. You can get engineering firms to get hold of that material. I paid nearly a grand for my pier. I don't know where you got this information from but clearly this is incorrect. I also know someone else who has a 2.1m length of this for his pier. I hope you are not suggesting we are not telling the truth???
I do agree though that most errors come from everything else other than my pier. I think that I would need a considerable amount of equipment to cause any deflection that would affect my images. Just my opinion of course and anyone is free to disagree. Images tend to be the proof.
Carry on chaps.
