That was my point in my first post. *It's not a big ticket item, and

Rico's original post is correct.....only the local delivered cost
matters.

I'm in SoCal, so I have a significant number of steel suppliers within
30 miles. The cost for hot rolled steel shapes varies all over the
map.....from as little as 30¢ to as much as $1 a pound. It depends
on what's in stock, the popularity of the desired section......and how
hungry the supplier be.

I typically figure $1 pound delivered so I'm always pleasantly
surprised when I get the real quote (except for square tube which is
often very expensive).

OP, plus with a 17' finished length most likely you'll be paying for
the whole 20' plus a cut charge.


Why such a shallow section? Head height restrictions? A shallow
beam is way less efficient use of material than a deeper one.
