Where can I get Sonotubes or something that is round and heavy cardboard just like them?

Question

I am actually using them NOT for concrete, but another project.

Can anyone advise me where to find them, inexpensively?

They need to be at least 12" or 14" in across and I need to be able to make pieces 15" to 18" long. I could also use a few small 12" long pieces that are 18" across.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Answer 1

How about empty spools from carpet, canvas, plastic and rubber for floor protection, floor cloth and linoleum?

How heavy - could you use empty commercial ice cream tubs?

Check the carpet stores -

If you ask at one of the home improvement stores - they will be able to tell you what materials come on spools/tubes

Try Home Depot or Lowe's.  If they don't have the size you need, try a contractor supply house in your Yellow Pages.  Hope this helps.
