I get all my stuff steel/iron scrap yards. Most will have sheets of the stuff cheap.

What they ^^^^ said. Welding shop, fab shop probably your best bet and they will cut it to size for you.

As a last resort, you could try here.

Don't know how expensive the shipping would be though.

Probably a shop that sells expanded metal.

Hey Tykie, glad to see you back. Like the others said, check local welding shops or any fab shop. If you have a steel supplier in your area, ask them if they have any expanded metal defects. Most larger steel yards have bent or imperfect sheets to which you can get a smaller piece cut at a substantial savings. Good luck.

Are you looking for it in those stores or just asking an employee? The stores I went to the employees had no idea what I was talking about but I was still able to look around and find it. Good luck

How could anybody afford to ship steel.

 

[crockadale]

Home Depot has it. Most of the employees don't know it but they do. It is usually in the hardware section and they have asortments of angle iron, alum and sheet alum and metal. It is a small section but they do have it.

for $25 or so you can get a 12" x 48" section of 9 gauge 3/4 expanded metal dropped off to your door from yale steel, they sell lots of cut peices, I got 4 peices 7.25" x 24" shipped for $23

what size was that? My steel supplier wanted $87 a sheet for 9 gauge 3/4, the 13 gauge was only $72.
