Howdy. I'm looking to buy a length of aluminum pipe for a fire staff.

1.6m in length, about 65mm diameter.
EDIT: Actually thinking about it 65mm seems a tad too much. 30-45mm might be more reasonable.

Unsure of what thickness I need it just has to be able to put up with a fair bit of abuse. It doesn't actually need to be aluminum either just strong yet lightweight.

This is basically what I'm trying to do with it:

I'm in Dublin, on the southside. Tried Brooks and Heatons without luck.

Thanks for any leads.
