Wanting small T section bar

Post by robyholmes » Sat Feb 27, 2016 12:34 pm

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to find a supplier of small T section, ideally in stainless steel to make fencing. Does anyone know of any good sites that stock small size metal like this?

Thank You
Rob

Try Eilieens Emporium,

Brass may be easier to find than SS.

While its not quite T section have you thought about using old rail?

Curious about Stainless - an interesting choice of material - it's hard to work, shines out like a sore thumb for ever, and shrugs off paint.

What is it about Stainless that appeals, co there might be another way of doing it.

Mainly so I don't need to paint it. I'm going to use it as fencing posts. However can use anything really as long as its strong.

Thank you for this site, they have a lot of really good stuff. Got some brass on order to test out.

Glad you found it useful.

I have to second David's comments about SS though. It is bloody awful stuff to work with.
