Nice looking poles Turbs. You should go in the business and sell 'em.

Another set of poles shipped today.

Finishing my last ordered set this week.

I've got materials for a couple sets of poles and brackets.

I've got another set of aluminum poles ready to ship.

Reminder: at this time my powder coater is out of town.
Only unpainted poles !

Have you had any success with powder coating Aluminum? I think it would be pretty hard to do so.

Powder coating aluminum is easier then metal.
Unfortunately the aluminum tubing I'm using has to close of a nest that powder coating them would make the inner pole to thick on the od not allowing them to nest .

Anodizing may work but I don't know enough about it.

Powder coated or unfinished.
Aluminum or emt steel.

Would make great x-mas gifts.

One stop shop!

Is there a significance in strength or weight between the two metals? Also what are your prices for complete kits shipped to Ca? Thanks in advance.

The aluminum is definitely lighter by a lb or so.
I've not had a strength issue with either.
Sending a pm.

Awning hold down poles.

If you'd like to make your own poles I've got bracket kits available.

Poles are made to order until it warms up a little in the shop.

Don't let this be you!

Order your awning hold down poles and brackets today so your ready for spring!

Poles made to order.

Poles exceptionally handy when adding a sunscreen to your electric awning!
