Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s the questions we get asked the most!

Do you sell pre-cut kits ready for assembly?

No. We sell building materials. tinktube steel pipes and fittings are what planks and nails / screws are to wood. So you can give free rein to your imagination for a personalized construction.

What is the system load capacity?

Your project’s design will determine its load capacity. Like any building system, it is the number of columns, the number of beams and their spans that will determine your structure’s load capacity. We encourage you to strengthen your construction as it is being assembled to prevent accidents! To learn more read our article on how to calculate the loading capacity of a tinktube structure.

Can the pipes & fittings be painted?

If you need a different color than the ones we sell, we recommend using the galvanized tubes and chrome connectors. For best results, use a metal primer and acrylic latex spray paint.

Can you help me select the parts or design my project?

We are always excited to hear about your DIY projects! As every project is unique, it is difficult to design from a distance but we will do our best to assist you via chat, email exchanges or by phone. We invite you to email us with photos at [email protected]

Are your products available in store?

tinktube products are currently only available on our online store.

What are the tubes exact length, diameter and weight?

Our tubes are 92″ in length, the diameter is 27.6mm, or 1-1/16 “, and they weight 1.35 pounds. It would actually make more sense to have 8 ‘ (96”) tubes, but for shipping companies like FedEx, these tubes are more complex and cause overload.

Is it sturdy enough to create a platform, a ramp or bed?

Although very strong, the modular system is not designed or approved to support people, or to act as a physical protection system.

Can I use the pipes or fittings outdoor?

Yes, some components like black connectors, tubes and accessories can be used outdoors, if they are well protected. Chrome connectors are intended for indoor use, given their propensity to rust when exposed to moisture.

Are tinktube’s fittings and accessories compatible with EMT conduits?

When used with our 3/4” EMT adapter for pipe connector, all our fittings and most accessories can be converted to be used with 3/4” EMT conduits. Buy individually, or select the available option for compatible products.

Although we do not have 1” EMT conduit adapters, you can use tinktube’s 1-1/16″ pipes as a sturdy, lighter and cheaper inch to inch substitute.
