After regaining my composure, I went home and ordered the items on Ebay and paid a total of $43.39 which included tax and shipping. I try to buy from local merchants, but when they gouge you with outrageous prices like this.....let them go broke.

I contacted El Paso Metals and Steel to obtain quotes on weathered steel. They replied they only…read morehave ever seen that in 1/2" plate or thicker. Weathered steel is manufactured in most common forms: sheet, bar, square and round tubing, etc. whether El Paso Metals and Steel has it or not. The El Paso Metals and Steel sales rep. had ZERO interest in finding out if they could obtain any other forms and was annoyed I made an inquiry about something they had not sold previously. This is ironic since their website says: "Get the right materials for your business or project, whether you're need standard supplies and parts or a custom made piece." "Contact us today for information regarding metal, custom castings and products, or cleaning services. We'll get you what you need." It does not bother me they were not able to supply the materials I was seeking - that can happen. I was a potential new customer for them, but because of their poor customer service on a simple, initial inquiry, I will not be doing any business with El Paso Metals and Supply.

Shade Doctor of El Paso was absolutely fantastic! Brittany and her team promptly responded to our…read morerequest for information regarding the shades and was easily accessible by text and in person every step of the way. The shades are made of high quality materials that cannot be easily replicated from big box stores. In the southwest, where outdoor spaces are used year round, it was important for us to have a shaded area, as the sun can be brutal in the desert. Our enclosed outdoor patio's shades protect us and our outdoor furniture from the glaring sun and heat. We look forward to using the shades in the fall and winter seasons as well, where we plan on containing the heat from our fireplace with our shades. Our outdoor shaded space is a comfortable extension of our home where we spend a lot of time in. Thanks Shade Doctor for making our outdoor space a place where our family and friends can enjoy gatherings year round!
