They have round tubes, square tubes, solid round rod, in many (nesting) sizes. I have used them and their quality is excellent. The only negative I've experienced with dealing with them, and it is not really their fault, is the surcharge that UPS charges for 8 foot lengths. If your project can be handed with 4 foot pieces, your shipping charge will be much lower. If you need some big (8 foot) pieces, it is worthwhile checking to see if any hams in your area could also use some fiberglass, because the extra pieces cost nothing extra to ship, due to the surcharge by UPS for long packages which ship at the 60 pound rate if I recall correctly.
I have no ties to this company other than being a satisfied customer for many years.

In reading the descriptions of various directional antenna installations, I often see a statement that the last section of mast between the rotator and antenna is non-metallic (most often fiberglass, I believe).
What is the best source for a suitable length of fiberglass pole of the correct size?
I would not be surprised if the source is outside of the radio world... perhaps a round fiberglass pole intended for as a tool handle, for example. Just a guess.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!
