metal tubing price?

Super Steve · Jul 27, 2012

anyone bought 2"x2" metal tubing lately? just looking for a rough price on it. i need to buy some for a project but found some used but usable for what i think is a decent price but dont want to get the short end of the stick for not knowing what the new price is. i know price varies by wall thickness

Local price here is a few cents either side of a buck a pound.

Take a look at McMaster Carr. I buy quite a bit of metal stock from them. They are about the most competitive I've found.

Why don't you just list the price being asked and the wall thickness? It would make it a whole lot easier to answer your question. You could also call around to steel suppliers or scrap yards. Steel suppliers usually have a minimum buy of $75 or more but scrap yards often sell new steel in any length. Some welding shops will sell steel as well.

Bought some stuff from their place local to me in Charlotte. I got the pieces I needed, in the lengths I needed for just under what it would have cost me per foot for a 20 foot stick. Given that I only needed 3 feet of one of the pieces and it was still $90, I'd hated to have had to buy a full 20' stick. Overall they were great folks to deal with and I would definately buy from them again.

2x2x 11 ga. wall -$2.25 a foot delivered .1/4 in. wall 2.95 per foot delivered.

On any steel consider what you need for the job. Often the more un-common thicknesses are considerably more expensive than the common thicknesses for the same size tubing. This is sometimes a local thing wheras maybe 2X2x1/4" wall is used by several operations. So you go to a supplier and want 2x2x3/16" wall and find it is the same or more expensive than the 1/4" wall material.

Trailer hitch tubing fits in that category and is quite a bit more expensive because it is a special size.
