I am looking at building some pipe fence using 2 3/8" pipe. I can get used oilfield pipe for about $10 per joint cheaper than new pipe. I am going to need about 200 joints for my project. So is it worth the extra $2000 to go new or wil the used be fine? The used pipe looks to be in good shape and not pitted.
I saw a video on gobobpipe that talks about all the cons of used pipe but they are selling new pipe. I agree with some of their points but then again nearly all the fences in my area are made of used pipe and still look good and I know many of them have been there 20 years or longer.
That $2000 saved if I go used sure would be nice to spend on a second gas powered welder to speed up the job, but then I would for everything to rust out on me.
