You can make them out of waste pipe from your local plumbers merchants they will also have the end caps.
Also wickes sell the bits or used to.

Then go to halfords they sell metal straps for these which is about a tenner.

Cost maybe £30 in all.

Pipe clamps £15.99 a pair at halfords. Anyone think the screws look a little weak when you zoom over the image?

no, they look fine to me

though to be fair, its a fair whack of money

you can just use cable banding or fixing band

something like this, they sell it at wicks

p and r where did you get yours and how much, I've been looking at these

http://www.vangadgets.co.uk/pipe_carriers_tube_carrier_conduit_roof_rack.htm

they seem dear, and would need the 150mm*(6inch) by 3200mm*(10.5 feet), thats £200  :'(.

Is that the going rate for these.

the poles I want to store, are 3 meters long. Definately wont fit inside my kangoo, thats where I am keeping the ones I have at the mo, but want bigger ones.
