ACL fan is right (again)! PVC pipe is fairly cheap, easy to work with and works well. Our club uses 3/4 in pipe and large wood blocks. Also easy to break down and transport. 1 disadvantage we have found is that during a show, the "walk" across the floor as kids and adults pull on the rope or hit them with their feet. One way we combat this is we have a few extra blocks, so we stack 2 blocks on the corner poles to gain weight and adhesion. Also we have some stanchions that are 1 gallon paint cans filled with cement. About 10 pounds of cement mix to a can, with the stanchion inserted while the cement is still wet. They are a but heavier to haul, and require more space in the trailer, but the wont "walk" across the floor. Check the photo galleries on our web page www.fcsme.org . I know we dont have any pictures featuring the stanchions, but they are part of the picture in a lot of shots. [:D]
