Where do you get your steel? (If you don't mind telling)

[whatpavment?]

Guys in the Greensboro, High Point, and Thomasville area...Where is a good place to get scrap steel for bumpers, cages etc...? I've gotten some from Owensby's before but i'm wondering if there is any where else. TIA

I've heard DH griffen recommended more than a few times for stuff like that.

The have not had a whole lot lately.

Try a large fab shop. They normally pay to get rid of the scrap and some will just let you get it for next to nothing...

Yo,

Ryerson on 300 Gallimore Dairy Road is a HUGE distributor of metal in Greensboro. I do not know if they entertain little ants like us on this board. But, if they don't have it, its not available.

Ryerson has a minimum purchase of $500, i believe.

D.H. Griffen on Hilltop Rd. in Greensboro is where I go. I usually find what I want out there for cheap!

 

[justjeepin86]

when we order from Ryerson at work, they like a minimum of $250 to deliver.

Ryerson is who I get all of my steel from.

I would have mentioned it earlier, but he was asking about SCRAP steel...

Tri-State Steel always has the best prices when I order. They only have a $100 minimum too.

I just priced 10 sticks of 1 3/4 .120 HREW for 51.00 per stick. Do you normally get it cheaper?

yep. Call tri state at 3363496057 and see what they can do.. and they deliver free over 100 dollars.....

 

[Tacoma747]

I normally get it for about $40 per stick, the more you deal with them the better prices you will get.

Talk to Pam, and tell her Michael from RAM Fabrication sent you. DON'T expect to as good of a price as I would, but they can probably do better than what you were quoted.

 

[nichols]

Tri-State and definitely talk to Pam or Mt. Cross Welding (near Danville, VA), Jamie should have lots of scrap.

There's a place called Foils, north of Harrisburg on Hwy 49. Head north on 49 from 485, go through Harrisburg and it will be on your right, just past Pharr Mill Road.

They sell both new and scrap. I've gotten some good deals on the scrap stuff for small projects.
