I'm building a railing around my upstairs patio. I want to do this out of pipe (either 1" or 1.25"). when I went to Home Depot, I was shocked to see that the base flange costs about $32 each. Yet when I looked on e-bay this morning, I see guys selling 10-20 packs for about $40. I'm wondering if there is a quality difference that would cause the huge discrepancy in cost.
I'm basically adding a 15" railing around the top of the existing wall. If anyone has any insight as to the differences between Home Depot & Other, I'd love to hear.
