screwfix dont sell metal conduit, you need a elec. wholesaleer such as city electrical,edmunson elec,newey&eyre etc most towns will have one one of the national outlets,thats were i buy conduit for rails from , use 20mm galvanised its a tad more expensive but no rusty hands £5.5 length is about average to pay, keep it straight will last years MSH

I use 25mm box section, costs £20 for 6 3meter rails from the local wrought iron gate/fence manufactures. Only because I can’t find any where that sells conduit tough enough to be used more than once.

conduit lasts years if its looked after, 20mm or 25mm ,i usually keep about 20 lengths for use, the galvanised iv had for 5/6 years, keep it fully supported when transporting and don't tie it down so it bends, MSH
