You can buy galvanized pipes freely, but the cost of such products can be quite high, so the desire to make a galvanized pipe with your own hands is dictated, first of all, by considerations of economy.

At the same time, the manufacture of galvanized pipes does not require the use of special efforts, special expensive fixtures and tools, and some kind of professional knowledge, so any home craftsman who has a set of standard carpentry tools in his arsenal can handle this.

Galvanized metal pipes are used for chimney equipment, they are popular because of their light weight and, accordingly, ease of installation. Galvanized chimneys do not require the construction of a foundation, and this significantly reduces the cost of chimney equipment.

Such pipes meet fire safety standards, withstanding temperatures up to 900 °, so they can even be used for smoke removal from solid fuel heating boilers and furnaces.

Also, galvanized pipes in home construction are used to equip gutters. Such pipes are already quite affordable in terms of costs, but at the same time, the process can be made even cheaper using hand-made products.

What you need to make a galvanized pipe

At home, to make a galvanized pipe, you need a sheet of tin, the material does not require much effort due to its softness and plasticity.

Tinplate is industrially made from thin sheet steel with a thickness of 0.1 to 0.7 mm on rolling machines, after which they are coated with an anti-corrosion protective layer of chromium, tin or zinc. In conclusion, the blanks are cut to standard sizes, with a width of 512 mm to 2000 mm.

The strength of such products is in no way inferior to steel counterparts, especially if the material has additional stiffeners, but at the same time it is very plastic and allows you to mount complex-shaped pipelines manually. Anti-corrosion coating provides protection of the pipe from environmental influences.
