Proper cage construction is important as is the quality of pipe. I personally would not build a cage out of pipe, but I see no reason to not build bumpers and other non super critical devices. If I was to do a cage it would be DOM tube. I know the pipe is better than nothing, but if i build one it will be built out of the stuff I believe it should be built out of: DOM tube. Thats just my personal choice, and no I don't want to argue about it.
I have access to all the schedules of pipe from standard 40 clear up to double extra heavy, or double extra strong or whatever you want to call it. It is thicker than schedule 160.
