Hi all; what's the best place, in your opinion to get steel in the SF Bay
area? I'm looking at about $800 worth of angle iron from Alan Steel and
am still waiting for a quote from Metal Supermarket. Is this my best
bet?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Have you checked Alco, at the corner of Doolittle Drive and Davis, San
Leandro. They have a lot of salvaged material at pretty good prices, as
well as new.

Not by a long shot.

PDM in Santa Clara will sell you known alloy in new steel for probably lower
cost than our friends at Alan Steel would charge for drops.

They Deliver Too! Call them would be my advice.

Hi all; just a follow-up:

PDM had the best prices by far, $500 compared to Alan Steel's $840.

However, they only sell in 20-foot lengths and don't cut to order.
I'm not really equipped to handle 20' pieces of angle, so I went with
Allied Iron. They wanted $650, cut and ready to pick up. If time wasn't
a factor, I probably would have gone with PDM.

Thanks to those who replied.
