Usually Home Depot is a good place to start.

Get galvanized, it will last much longer. My uncle has that holding up his triple LNB dish. The dish is only 4 feet off the ground. I don't know how much is buried in the ground or if its in concrete or not.

Home Depot and Lowes, at least on the left coast, don't have anything in 2" OD except for copper $$$$$. The galvanized pipe in the plumbing and electrical areas are 2" ID, which means about 2.25" OD.

You can order 2" OD chain link fence posts online and I've also hear that residential chain link posts only come in 1-7/8" and 2-1/8" (?), but that the commercial posts can be found in 2" OD.

Well, that's been my experience - hope that helps.

Pull out your yellow pages and lookup "Electric Equipment & Supplies".
Either wholesale or retail.
There's tons of them.

Call a few of them and I'd bet you find a shop that has 2" galvanized in stock.

Try Graybar Electric or Cresent Electric.
Think there's one in Waukesha, if not Milwaukee definately.
Used to deliver stuff there in my semi.

Home Depot in TP had 2" pipe in 12' sections, but I forgot which department. It was galvanized pipe. I will be getting some as soon as ground thaws. Installer said they would put in and re-run cable for it since it was too cold and snowy when he was here. Said it comes with install.
