Asteel ss i have decided to start making gates and railings for a living,can anyone recommend a cheap steel supplier in west mids(sandwell),as i am going to need regular supplies of bar and flat,and while on the subject,are there any orders from you lot.

when i were doing that we used to ring round all the suppliers and let them all barter for the custom and occasionally tell em we had a massive job coming up so they gave a better price in hope of getting that order,as for all the ornaments i cant just remember the company but they werecheap if i do il let yer know

I use B and M in Nottingham......I would also find a good local galavaniser plus powder coater and offer it as a cost adder.

I might be after a gate at some point.

But have you considered car and garage security as well.  Fold down posts (or even pop up posts - that have a sleeve with a lift up post) for drives etc and some sort of kit for added security to garage doors.  Just a thought

Meant to say just look in your yellow pages for steel stock holders.

Used to deal with an alloy stock holder, what ever size we wanted was the same price, just picked it and paid by weight.

Rfound a couple of placeseason for asking this question is that i have had a couple of prices,and they are coming up at £12 per 6 metre length of 12mm bar,and seems a bit expensive to me,considering i would need just over 3 lengths to make my own gates,and the same again for the flat to build the frame. :-/

Sounds about right at the moment, think we pay a little less but, have been buying for a while so get better discount.

Steel prices are quite high at the moment

I work for a steel company and for that type of thing would recommend bradley steels or harris steels - both in west midlands.
