What can i do with it its in 3m lengths seems a shame to scrap it really.  Was thinking of putting up a notice at the plot if i cant find a use for it.

That's exactly what i was thinking AS. One of my neighbours has a steel tubular frame made up as goal posts, and he's welded eyelets along the 'cross bar' at 8" intervals. then he just threads his canes through these and pokes them in the ground. Ingenious I thought.

I could drill and fix eyes to the length of the tube i guess.

My dad just tied bean string on to his frame each year - it's cheaper than canes

[Rangerkris]

hmmmm oh what to do with it all hahahah i got something for nothing and dont know what to do with it a mate with a pipe bender has said its easy enough to get hopps all made the same could be good for netting over the top of crops.

I got about 25 x 3m ish lengths

That's enough for a bean frame and a fruit cage!. You can get 45Deg joints for that stuff can't you? Get on freecycle for some netting.

[philskin]

Same thought as you bend it into hoops for a cloche

If you're really stuck for what to do with it, I could collect them off you on Monday.

Seriously, it would do nicely for a fruit cage or a bean frame or rasberry/blackberry support, or a frame to support netting/fleece over brassicas.
If your site is windy you could use it to support plastic fencing as a windbreak, all sorts of uses really.

Make wind chimes and sell them at a boot fair

Does anyone know where i might get joints for framing from.

Try a plumbers outlet - trade counter will be cheaper.... you could invest in a hand-held pipe-cutter while you are there... not too dear and you could sell it on afterwards... if not a hack-saw would do the job.

I'm envious. I have enough galvanised steel pipe to put up a traditional apex bean frame (my father used it for about 40 years!) but I cold easily put some extra metal tubing to good use with a few lenghts of nylon string or old washing-line.
