Where do you guys shop for your metals?
« on: March 02, 2011, 07:15:03 PM »
I was wondering where you guys go in Calgary to buy some metals, looking for some 1/4 steel plates and 3/4 plates, I have heard of Metal supermarket, any other places that might be better? cheaper?

i went to federal metals. very easy to deal with. they even loaded my truck for me. price was allright. 1/4" thick 4'x4' steel plate was about 150$. pretty good selection too. they didnt have any DOM tubing at the time but have some now. downside is they are only open till 430 mon-fri.

alright, yeah I guess they could get more sales if they were open a little later some nights!
