i used sch 40 on all mine and it's stout, the strength of pipe is measured by pressure not tensile strength

Just teasing

I've built my sliders and bumpers out of DOM. But I have a wicked hooked up for steel.

Other friends have built there stuff out of schedule 40 and its held up fairly well.... You just need more bracing.

Pipe is for poop but it's ok for bumpers or sliders. NOT ok for cages.
CREW is good for bumpers and sliders too.
