I use to attach the grill to the side of my boat. Well we decided to redo all the camper canvas to get more use out of the boat. With the frame work for the camper canvas i can no longer use the grill where it was was. I need to build a new mounting system. My thought was to use 2 inch alum pipe.Does lowes or homedepot carry alum pipe in that diameter?

most metal fabricators should carry it and they should have a bender if thats required.

There are no metal fabricators in my area. I wonder if heavy wall pvc pipe would work?. I'm planning on mounting the grill off my swim platform.It would be a straight peice around 3 foot high

if the swim grid on your weekender is the same as my sundancer, you will need about 2-3 feet, go with stainless or aluminum. As well you might want to look at making a pocket you can put it in or take it out so it doesnt clutter the grid up as well no one will try and grab it when they try to get back on the boat:)

2 inch O.D ? or I.D. ? Try an electrical supply house. 2" rigid conduit. It used to be available in Aluminum as well as galv. steel. Not sure if it still is, but worth a try.
