Frankly, I wouldn't know if you whacked me across the back of the head with it!
This stuff is Deta Class 4 Galvanised Conduit Tube (EN 61386)

I'm pretty sure what you are looking at is referred to here as rigid metal conduit as opposed to the EMT that we have been referring to. EMT has a thinner wall thickness so threading it is impractical (3/4" has a thickness of 1.25mm) as compared to RMC (3/4" has a thickness of 2.7mm). Check out this link -> https://steeltubeinstitute.org/steel...l-conduit-rmc/ at the top it says "Types of Steel Raceways" and shows EMT and RMC.
EMT is going to be much lighter that RMC.
Definitely not DIY for most people, but I have one of four conduit telescoping poles constructed. It requires advanced tooling and a PITA amount of time, but very compact. Stay tuned. If I weren't working 3 12s in a row it would be done by now.
Come check out the Tensa4 tensahedron stand and other hammock stands at http://www.TensaOutdoor.com and [email protected]
LOL - lots of us are staying tuned ;-)
As the saying goes - "every day's a school day"
Did a bit of reading around, turns out EMT tubing is not available in the UK - it does not come up to British standards ( BSEN 61386).

I was wondering when that was having metric sizes if you were running into something different that those of us are seeing in the US.
Has anyone tried this with a bridge hammock yet? A couple people have theorized about it but I haven't seen pics. I might have to scrap my plans to make a hot tent and try this out with my bridge. So much fun stuff to work on!
I collect vintage camp stoves.
I roast coffee at home.
EMT, Electrical Metallic Conduit, has a very thin wall and cannot be threaded. So threaded connectors cannot be used.
RMD, Rigid Metallic Conduit, does come with each end threaded.
