Angle iron - where to but it from?

HappyG1rl

Where can I buy angle iron to use as lintels above windows? We've looked in our local builder's merchants and in B&Q but can't find any.

We got one from a local place that makes gates, 'metal fabrications' etc, only a small outfit I am sure there are local companies nearby.

We had it fitted above a patio door and bricked over etc

Angle iron is just a thick piece of iron possible steel that is L shaped

Look for metal fabrications in yellow pages on maybe online

You could try your local wrought iron specialist...see the local paper or yellow pages. Galvanised steel will work as well, so would aluminium for that matter.

Find a local fabrication company (smaller places are often easier/cheaper)
They should have a few different sizes in stock and will happily cut it to length. And could even get it galvanised for you.

Its very cheap stuff.

Sonds like you only want a few metres worth, so not worth finding a steel stockholder.
