Cheap aluminum angle

I know a lot of guys use aluminum angle for their deck framing so I figured I would share...

That guy sells 1x1x1/8x96" 6063 angle for $8.00 a piece!! Sure beats the $25 at Lowe's or $16 or so from Metals Depot. Sorry if this is a repost just trying to spread the good word. You can do aluminum framing almost as cheap as using wood for this price.

Yeah, but look at the shipping. $26.98!!!! You kidding?

Yeah for one piece its definitely not worth it but if you buy 10 pieces then it works out pretty nicely.

5 pieces shipped to me would be 25$. and at 8 dollars a stick it def makes it worth it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the heads up.
I'm in the middle of a boat remodel, perfect timing...I ordered 8. With shipping it is still about half price of what I can get it local.

Living out in the middle of mostly farmland in small town USA, I had to do a lot of searching, but I found a bulk metal supplier just 35 miles away. I was able to get 6061 T6 1x1x1/8 in 25' sections for just under $1 a foot. You might be surprised at what you can find locally if you dig enough. I found this place by asking a local fabricating/machine shop where they bought their metal stock from. My savings made it well worth the effort.
