Now, now...it's OK to be wrong once in a while, and all of ya are. It is 1.5" OD PVC. Fits perfectly in the rod holders. And it's not for snow, I use it to prop up my Wal-Mart special cover to keep the water from making it an above ground pool. The cover is to keep the crap from the trees out of my boat, not to repel water. We get snow like once every 2 years or something like that, so that is the farthest thing on my mind. None of the joints are glued, that way I can just take it apart and throw it in the yard when I'm ready to hit the water.

Thanks for all the kind posts fellas.
