I used to get it from Menards. It comes in 10ft sections!!

I live in the South and I've checked the retail home centers, hardware stores, plumbing supply houses, any other ideas?

Maybe a siding supplier?  It is pretty hard to find.  I have a couple of pieces of the lighter Canadian pipe, but since I bought it I haven't come across it again.  10 years have passed and I live in Canada.  I have never even seen the thicker US pipe on my travels to the southern Detroit area, or Fla, and Georgia either.  I have heard of a vinyl fence post that may work, but is smaller, and aluminum pipe being used (?)

A few years ago I bought some at a local Lumber and Building Supply Chain Store 'McCoys', I was also told that the PVC Downspout made in Canada was better, heavier gauge; not sure if McCoys is nation wide and you have one located near you.

I've had good luck at true value hardware

Last time I bought mine which was years ago, I found it at a "Do It Best Hardware" store. I went to their website and just searched "downspout". Found this:

Hope that helps!

I think the Canadian is lighter, and maybe 1/8" smaller. It may or may not be better depending on the size motor you are using.  My 2 pieces measure 2.510" and 2.410" with both at .045" wall.  I think they are both the Canadian size?

I have built many SPADs using the 2 1/2" by 2 1/2" downspout. Locating a dealer to purchase the product was a problem until I called Genova. They gave me the names of several dealers in my area. Problem solved! The phone number to call is (810) 744-4500.

Making the fuse out of coroplast is a better way to go, makes it lighter.
