Where do you guys buy your 2x4 2x6 steel tube? I've checked many steel places along with hardware stores such as menards, Home Depot, Lowes. They seem to only have 2x4 steel studs. But I'm not building walls. So these do me no good. Any info greatly appreciated. Regardless if you live in michigan or not.

Thanks

 

do a search for scrap and steel supply places locally. You likely wont find any of that stuff that sells "hardware" to the general public.

 

I get mine from local machine shop scraps. Usually they will make you a deal.

 

My dad does construction management so I just throw my orders in with his whenever he's ordering for a job site so I get a discount and free shipping from local steel suppliers. I have to end up going to the job site it's delivered at to pick up, but it saves me 25-30% plus shipping.

Occasionally get some free scrap from fab shops we deal with at work as well.

Personally I'd never buy steel from Lowe's, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, ect unless I needed a really small quantity in a pinch. They're extremely overpriced.

 

I go to a place called fazzios. It's in new jersey tho .

The place is great they have everything you can think of and all In stock. Very helpful folks as well.

 

Can't agree more. Those places are hugely over priced. And rarely carry in stock what you need.
