You folks on this site have always been a tremendous resourse so here I go with another question. If anyone has any thought on this I would truly appreciate your input. I will be building a TDB/Bankes style blind on my aluminum rig. I will be hunting both fresh and salt water and would like to know any opinions on durability and corrosion resistence. I am trying to deside between using schedule 40 galvanized pipe or schedule 40 aluminum. It seems that aluminum would be my first choice being it is lighter and (what I thought) more corrosion resistant. However, I am hearing several things such as, get an aluminum with a low copper compound unlike 6063, get a polished anodized 5052, stay away from 6061... so on and so forth. And as far as galvanized goes I do not want to sink the money into this and have it rust away. You folks know best what our rigs go through and what may be best. Would you suggest galvanized or aluminum, if aluminum than what number?
Any and all ideas or thoughts are welcome!
Thanks,
Gene
