[NLRS] Wanted post

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

I have used a wooden wheelbarrow handle with an Alliance rotor for an 
elevation cross boom. They are square for about half the length and 
round for the other half. At least the one I used decasdes ago was round 
for half its length. Measures 1-1/4" diameter. The new ones in the shed 
aren't round for long. Look at big box home centers like Menard's. 
Otherwise heavy wall PVC pipe, like schedule 80 can work. 1" is 1.3i5" 
O. D. 1-1/4" is 1.66" O.D. Farmtek sells sold fiberglass fence posts up 
to 3/4" diameter that should work. The PVC pipe will be stiffer if you 
can find a round wooden dowel to fit. For that matter wooden closet 
poles or large wooden dowels could work but dowels probably won't be 
long enough. Fiberglass or wooden shovel or hoe handles might work too. 
Also interior round stair rails.
