We buy from OnlineMetals.
Consider buying:
1"x1" angle
2"x2" angle
1"x2" tube
1"x1" tube
Depending on the game sometimes you need stronger the .125" thick and sometimes you need light weight .060" thick. We buy a mixture. |
I recommend against Online Metals; even with the occasional 25% off coupons it costs more than places like Speedy Metals, and local places are far cheaper than either because you don't have to pay exorbitant shipping costs.
We go to Alan Steel locally, and a few others go to Coast Aluminum.
