    Yea, does that stuff spark a lot? or smoke a lot?

        Ding ding ding ding.... goodtimes wins the prize!!! A slow and agonizing death from inhaling zinc fumes... Well, perhaps slightly exaggerated, but it's pretty bad. Don't weld galvanized unless you are doing some seriously good ventilation. I'm not talking about just throwing a fan in front of it, you need a hood to ensure you don't breathe any of the fumes.

          yup....I fingered that out after I did some work with galvanized (oops)...stuff really stinks, and you get this nice, cob-web like white stringy/powdery stuff along the weld....

              Current Prices

              Right now 3/4 x 11 gauge (.125) is running about $.75/ft and 1 x 11 gauge is running about $1.00. Depending on what you are planning on hauling you could even run tubing thinner than 11 gauge. We run 1/4" thick tubing and we are hauling 10' beams at 50 pounds a foot. But its up to you.
