About Product Availability :Our inventory turns over very quickly, and our inventory is not always the same, so it’s important to double-check pricing before you buy (even if you’ve bought that product before); we may have the same product with a different price because it came from a different vendor, or pricing may vary because we stocked a similar item, but not the exact one we had previously.
Hi there!! At minimum, you’ll want to use a 10ft 13 gauge post 🙂 Let me know if you want to go a little more heavy duty than that, and I can provide some options. Thanks!! – Jamie
Good evening Jim!! Galvanized posts do not require painting. However, the inside of the tubing is rarely fully galvanized, so you’ll want to cap off the top of the post to prevent rust damage from water exposure that may weaken the structural integrity of the steel. If I can be of further help, please don’t hesitate to ask, and thanks ever so much for your inquiry!! – Jamie – 817-800-5765
