These three metals have unique properties, making them useful for various industrial applications. We'll go over. Tubes are one of the most versatile metal supplies available.

These guys make Westbrook metals prices seem low! I can’t believe how over priced their prices are compared to competitors. Unfortunately they always seem to be short handed also.

During a kitchen remodel of our kitchen, I needed to install a ventilation hood. The installation manual instructed the boring of mounting holes into certain locations in the wall. Those two support locations would not go through the studs, which concerned me, due to the weight bearing on just screws in the drywall. I considered using drywall anchors, but still doubted if that would be enough strength. It had to stand the test of time. What I decided was to design a simple rectangular sheet metal brace going horizontally behind the hood. Two holes would serve as the points to which to mount the

I have been using SAM for years now. The owner, Brian Keyes, has always taken time to help me out and work with me on projects. I have a handyman business and I often need a little advise. Brian is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to steel, some would say this guy is a genius!
Cheers,

South Austin Metals is our goto spot for anything steel. High quality bare or galvanized pieces and friendly workers make it highly recommended.

Love working with these guys. Brian and staff make it easy to plan your project. I did a prefab metal retaining wall, Brian helped me spec the project and then delivered it! I’ve also done square tube posts for cafe lighting from SAM. Good stuff.

Yes they have metal to sell ya', but your gonna get horrible customer service, varying business hours, and higher prices here. Last resort and prepare for frustration should you decide to shop here.

Great locally owned business. Competitive prices on all types of metal, welding and fabrication services! The South Austin Metals welding and fabrication shop across the street makes custom made wrought iron gates and fencing on site. Talk to Pete at the sales office or Nixon at the fabrication shop for friendly, personalized service!

This metal yard is conveniently located south Austin off of Ben white. Down side is service is reall hit or miss. Not just this time but most. Seems that they always have some drama going with the front fab shop and staff is always being pulled away. One guy takes your order and same guy cuts your order while trying to take phone calls and deal with customers waiting. Last time I called in advance to check on some metal and place order and I was told come in at 1pm next day and it would be ready. Showed up few minutes before 1pm next day and representative said he was busy at lunch and to come

These guys seemed really nice and the prices were fair. They loaded us up in the freezing rain right at closing for them. I'll be back.

These guys are really friendly. They have decent prices. They also sell with a 5-foot minimum on most items which is nice because a lot of times you don't need 20 feet.

I live down South so this place is close by, and their prices are always lower than Westbrook. The two guys i've dealt with there have both been very professional and move quickly. Good selection of tube and flat bar, and cut prices are cheap.
Bottom line, great place.
