Best going onto yell.com and putting in pipe suppliers and give a couple of companies a ring. I'm sure it won't be hard to get some.

we supply it, dont just use any tube and dont just lash it upo in your garden unless you know what your doing, it can be more dangerous than no cage at all

tbh your really playing a stupid game!

tbh if doing bends you need a mandrel bender...£3k, also need to get proper cage tubing....think its about £9 a metre for the tube.

b&q wont do the right pipe, scaffold poles are a stupid idea, wieght for too much pretty sure too big a diameter or if get ali scaff pipes have fun welding ali to steel.


just save the money for a proper cage, otherwise if you crash you'll have half a cage wedge in your head!
