down from the top they are like a U shape |__|

I have:
A cheap hacksaw
A sheap electric saw from Argos with a 'metal' cutting blade

I doubt either of these are tough enough - can you recommend anything
cheap from B+Q?

A hacksaw will cut the uprights quite easily - they are only mild steel.
If in a hurry I use an angle grinder - that will chop then in a few
seconds each.
