cmoore60 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I have 1.25 inch black iron pipe for my trunk on the mega tree. Has worked fine for the last 2 years and also a lot lighter than the 2".Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipefitterDan Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 At least 1 /14", trust me I know pipe (the screen name kinda hints to that). 1" could easily bend in the middle, especially if you have enough weight on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 One thing to consider is this. Do you maybe plan in the future to use one of those crank up heads with all of the hooks around it? At this minute I cant remember who sells that device, but I would think about going over to their site and look at what size pipe is supposed to be used with that device and then let that decide what size pipe you will need. Otherwise you might need to buy a different size pipe later when you decide that climbing a ladder to put your stings up near the top of your 14' pipe.
