Thread: Buying SHS and RHS Steel.

Hi all.
I'm doing a bit of research into the cost and availability of the materials I want to construct my frame from. As this is going in my cellar (and welding is pretty much out of the question) I'm opting for a small squat floor-stander to maximise rigidity and compactness. It'll look something like this:
(There will be 8 heavy duty, adjustable, rubberised feet separating the frame and the concrete floor).
I'd like to use the following cold formed SHS and RHS section:
2 off 80 x 160 x 1400mm
4 off 60 x 60 x 220mm
4 off 60 x 60 x 1000mm
All wall thickness's = 6mm
I'm based in the North West and it seems that the only place I can buy the steel from (for under £200) is down in London - they won't deliver as they reckon the cost of delivery will far out-weigh the cost of the metal, which is fair enough.
I don't mind driving down to them, but before I do - am I missing out on a stockholder that would be able to supply these sizes up here in the North West?
Thanks for your help!
Wal.
