I live in Allen and am going to build @ 20ft X 20ft steel carport. Where is a good CHEAP place to buy steel for such a small job? Need a few 2x6 purilins and 4' steel posts.

Been dealing with them for 23 years. For local steel they are quite good.

Is there a Metal Mart around there? For metal buildings products and light steel I use the one in Wichita Falls, and they beat the price of the competition most of the time.

Totally forgot about them. They quit listing prices online but as of 2017 they were consistently 15-20% cheaper than any DFW steel yard. Plus their showroom has everything you need and don’t need for cheap!

Ha I sent him a screenshot of this thread when I posted that and told him to be prepared for a nutshot. I partnered with those guys on some stuff for a few years when I was in DFW, they had a lot to do with me getting my business on its feet! Great people.
