Dexion substitute
My understanding is that Dexion ceased to operate in the UK several
years ago. The 1 inch square section tubing would have been ideal for my next project. Is anything similar available from a different manufacturer? Are there any second hand dealers in Dexion with reasonable stocks? Is it possible to buy new Dexion across the Channel? ie not too far from Calais - north east France, west side of Germany) TIA |

The message .com
from "ironer" contains these words: The 1 inch square section tubing would have been ideal for my next project. If it's just plain 1" square tubing you want, your local steel stockholder will be cheapest. Probably. -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |

I posted beacause I failed to find some to buy a year or so ago, but I am out of date: although Dexion is no longer as ubiquitous as it was 10 years ago, Dexion Comino Ltd, a rump of the old firm http://www.dexion.com/ supplies it: Also there appears to be a major agent in Milton Keynes http://www.stodec.com/stodectrading/ BTW the 2 key points about Dexion which make it attractive to me over bog standard steel tube are (1) it has a black plastic-like coating (2) the snap in connectors which provide quick trouble free accurate joins & angles. Means I can make a quick frame work which doesn't need further finishing off. Thanks again |
