Where do y'all get your metal material?

[txhunter83]

I am going to be looking for square tubing and possibly some other stuff in Houston, where should I be shopping?

[cjkozik]

steel supply of the beltway

[jmoore2006]

ask around. not sure about houston but i always buy from acorn steel in beaumont. they buy alot of construction scrap and resale. i always come out cheaper just buying pieces at scrap weight prices. always seem to have what i need.

[Stan R]

SSS steel on Jenson. They have about anything. Also a surplus yard.

Been buying there for over 6 years.

I usually use Mueller. But their closest location to you is probably Rosenburg.

[Gummi Bear]

Mueller is good for square stock and purlin material.

Not so much for round tube or DOM.

They pretty often beat out the other folks I check in with when I have a project idea.

[RWB]

I use Mueller in Willis or triple S. Mueller is easier, in and out fast, but triple S has more to choose from and a scrap yard.

[Mofo]

North shore supply if you are on the east side. Its close to gelena park.

Texas iron metal houston
Sometimes they can be cheaper

[venisonstew]

steel supply by hobby airport..
i just bought a bunch there the other day... they cut it free too so you can fit it in a pickup

[kmitchl]

I like Triple S if I am buying a decent quantity. For the onesy-twosy items I go to Brookshire Steel in Brookshire to avoid spending half a day dragging a trailer all the way across Houston.

[PineWoodArcher]

Steel & Pipe supply off Clinton Dr and Mississippi. I have a large selection of all structural steel. I also have a warehouse in Longview, Tulsa, KC and St. Louey. Drop me a pm and i will see what i can do for you.

i get mine from the scrap yard they sell by the pound it a lot cheaper and you dont have to buy 20 ft. sticks and most of it is new
