Round tubing, I need some

any steel supplier would have a variety of tubing, I'd suggest either a google search for a steel supplier in your area or a check of the yellow pages.
 
I've done that. My brother worked for a Oneal steel, a steel supplier and they didn't carry any tubing for roll bars, just steel pipe. I've got a race car builder just up the road and he won't tell me were he gets his tubing, and he keeps puting me off when I try to buy some from him.
 
That's a steel fabercating company right up the road from me. I don't think they sell steel, they just fab it up for building and bridges.
 
any steel fab shop can get it why dont you go ask them where a place is to buy some seamless 2 inch is located i bet they will know or can send you in the right direction. they probaly wont be brother with such a little order but i know they can help if they want to. i do know there are many places that you can get it from just look in the yellow pages. i deliever steel all over the east coast so i know it cant be that hard. i cant think of any around monroe sorry

Check with your local club and put together a group buy, you can generally get a better deal if you get over 500' when you order
 
Don't buy from the first place you find....prices can vary greatly.
 
This site will find most suppliers. Here is a quick search I did, you can narrow down the results by miles from your zip code using the navigator on the left side of the page. Steel Tubing on ThomasNet.com

Years ago a few of us locals went in on a group order of 2" DOM and I think it came from PA or Chicago, can't remember. It seems the key to getting a good deal is to order in quantity and have it delivered to a commercial address with a loading dock. If you are not a company making a huge order many sales desk people don't want to waste their time talking with you.

All the local steel suppliers like Potomac and Arlington can order you DOM but you will fall over when they quote you a price since they normally don't stock DOM. They key is to order from a large steel co where DOM is a normal stock item. Marmon Keystone with places in Richmond or PA was the closest supplier to our area last time I checked. You should start a thread in the CLCC and BBRC sections to see if anyone else wants to tube. While a group order can be a PITA it can bring your costs down significantly unless you are placing a large order yourself. I know Lance at Iron Pig usually has a nice supply of tube, he may resell a few sticks to you also.

Check out Metal Supermarkets. They're nationwide. METAL SUPERMARKETS - Buy Metal Online - Small Quantity Orders for Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Hot Rolled Steel, Cold Rolled Steel for Delivery or Local Pickup

Check out Craigslist as well. I found the DOM wall tubing I was looking for there.

That's great, I found a place in Kentucky that sells it also, Metals Depot® - Buy Small Quantity Metal Online! Steel, Aluminum, Stainless, Brass. They sell it in small quantities, $10.70 per foot, a little high, but I don't need that much right now. I just need 10ft to do what I want. If this goes good I'll be checking into getting more. I'll shop around then.

Thanks guys,
Mike

Thats incredibly expensive. I bought 1.75" .120 wall DOM at $4.61/FT at the HIEGHT of the steel business 18 months ago. Shop around...
 
That's shipped, I was actually $8.00 a foot. I plan on shopping around if I need more.
