And for some reason I can't find it anywhere. I'm trying to match a potential client's past jobs in which they've used 3" square aluminum tube with the little pointed flat finial on the top. They are being used as street sign poles, so I have to find something 12' or longer, but I haven't been able to locate anything locally or even online. 2" and 4" poles, no problem...but 3"?

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Rick

King Architectural Metals has a location in Baltimore. They may be able to provide tubing. They can also provide the finials.

Eastern Metal Supply has a North Carolina division that handles the Eastern Seaboard. They may have a distributor in the Philly area.

I would think there would be some Aluminum tube suppliers in Philadelphia unless they're too busy celebrating beating the Cowboys.

Thanks, Dave. King has the caps I'm looking for, so that's a good start. Now to place phone calls galore to see who can get the tubing!

Call some place that makes alum. trailers. They may use that size and will give a supplier.

I just googled for 3: sqare tubing suppliers and came up with this:
