Did the math and aluminum 1/2" wall is around 50lbs each, while steel 1/4" wall is 78lbs each. These are setup and taken down at least once a week so they need to be fairly easy to handle. So weight is the primary factor.

The current poles are 1/4" wall aluminum and have been fine for several years but are starting to fatigue and they are looking to upgrade. I was volunteered to get pricing and such for new ones.
