Dondorfish Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Happy New Year to everyone on the board! I would like to build a sled to tow behind my atv and snowmobile. I want to build it as light as possible and figure aluminum framework would be the best to go to. Can anyone suggest a place where I can purchase aluminum channel (approx 1&1/4" ) and also angle. Any help would be greatly appreciated Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 http://www.peckovers.com/ Click Peckovers Concord Not sure how small an order they'll sell though Don...and they have changed ownership since my last big order so not sure if anything has changed there. Other option is the cheap aluminum (and I'm not talking price) at Princess Auto. Probably good enough for what you want and won't suffer from granular disintigration over the time period you'll be using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Metal Supermarkets should have everything you're looking for http://www.metalsupermarkets.com/MSC-store...O®ION=ON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Go to Glanford Iron on Tyneside Rd, their prices are half of Metal Supermarket and have 10X the amount of inventory. They are located just south of Hamilton, less than an hour drive for you. You can't go wrong with them. I have bought tons of metal from them. cd.

fishinfool Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Ability Metals in Pickering is another good spot, it is just south of Tightlines on Brock Rd. I will also be needing some aluminum to rebuild my boat over the next couple of months so hopefully you will get lots of responses here and I can price around. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeontroller Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Don, you could try Niagara Glass on Dunkirk rd. See Tim the owner, tell him Dax sent ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanselena Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I would think the cheapest place would be a scrap metal yard. Try Greenspoons ask for Moe Greenspoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
