Default 2x3 or 4x2 Steel Rectangular Tubing
Nick Sutton
Newport News, Va

I am looking to buy some steel rectangular tubing so I can build two jet ski stands. I've stopped by Old Dominion Metals and they didn't have anything. I called Richman Metals and they wanted $153/24ft.

So if anyone has any laying around that I could use, please shoot me a PM.

Still in search of around 30ft.

Found killer deals online but the shipping is a killer @ approx. $95

$152/24 ft is on the high side. Not necessarily free, but maybe just a reasonable price?

that all depends on wall thickness...if its thin then yes its pricey...

but that is about right for 1/4 wall..

Not necessarily free, but not expensive either. Richman steel is just expensive, Old Dominion is cheap, but that's comparing apples to oranges.

Richman compared to Metal Depot is way more expensive, but shipping kills the "deal".

Why would 14GA tubing be more expensive than 11GA? I think you meant to say it the other way around.
