I have a welder who is happy to construct a steel pier from my design and I want the larger diameter as suggested for rigidity (trying to source 250mm) but any suggestions on where to obtain pipe (from 200mm up to 300mm) otherwise all I can locate comes in 6m lengths? Thx again IIS.

I also found it difficult to find pipe of the right dimensions. Most places are reluctant to buy an entire length for a small project like a pier and have the remaining piece sitting in their workshop after the job is done. My fabricator had some leftover 300x300 square section, the same that is used for road signs on freeways. It worked out well for me because it's the same size and shape as the base of the mount. Structurally there is no issue going with a square section - it doesn't have to be round.
