Do-It-Best hardware in Kennedy TX will UPS a 10 foot piece for about $20. I think they have to cut it down to like 3 foot lengths.

Well , it took me almost three months to find a hardware store to order it for me. I found the store today and it had a DO IT BEST sign in the window. The price quoted above is higher than what I will be charged . I bought to length for $28.00 + tax (.06). The trick I guess is to stop at every hardware store you come across and just ask for the pipe. Hopefully the nut job working that day will know what you are talking about.


Good Luck.

P.S. LOWES might have it this is one place I didn't check, I just came across one on Monday but didn't have time to stop. I was working. I can't wait until the new LOWES is opened, which will be 10 minutes from where I live.

$20, $28 holy cow!!! That is way too much to pay for this stuff! and that is in US dollars!
I paid $9.00 CDN for a 10' peice at Home Depot.
They also have it at Rona Home and Garden(are there any Rona's in the States?).

In Southern California, I can say that both Lowes and Home Depot do not carry the square downspout, only the ridged thin stuff. I've checked several. Apparently it is a building code issue (damn earthquakes), or at least that is what I've been told. YMMV.

I finally found mine at an OSH Hardware store (for those in the Orange County area, the one in Fountain Valley on Brookhurst), and I seem to recall it was $12 or $14 for a 10ft section. Perhaps there is an OSH near you?

Other than that, focus on the independents (e.g. NOT Home Depot or Lowes) and just shop around...

I figured it had something do with where it is necessary or mandatory to use, some places will have it and some won't. I'm just glad I finally found a store willing to order it for me. .
