Alternatively, you can use 1x1 and use starboards to fill in gaps.  Might be cheaper.  Let us know if you find the stock.

Where is the place?
Been looking for cheap round tubes or extrusions at least long enough as load bars to modify my Trailex so I can trailer AI fully rigged.

  A lot of metal fabrication shops will usually sell you what they have in stock.  Most times I find them cheaper than the online stores without shipping added into the mix

This place is good, if they have what you need. I've bought several things from them in the past.
