I cannot believe this hasn't been reviewed. Am I the only STEEL geek?…read more Need STEEL? They got STEEL! This business exists in the Oregon vortex where ordinary individuals can easily purchase specialized items because there is little wholesale/retail division here. Other states with sales taxes are radically different. Wholesale businesses, in those other nasty states, don't collect sales tax. Too complicated. And for that reason, they don't sell to you and me, ever. But the Steel Yard does sell to you, me and everyone we know! The Steel Yard is a gravely paved industrial spot in the permanent autonomous zone, by the tracks, near I'm sure, plenty of hazardous waste areas. They will never build condos there. It helps to check their website ahead of time or phone the nice staff about what they have, and the lengths and prices. And length matters. This is not a "it's not how long you make it, it's how you make it long" kind of place. I'll get back to that. They have steel plate, steel bar, rod, I-beam, round/ rectangular and square tube. It's all rusty, except some stainless, so don't expect otherwise. They can cut it to length, but there may be a charge. I have purchased 1/8" plate to form nifty plant bed borders in the yard. It's pretty flexy-bendy, cool. And if you are a welder, you got to know the Steel Yard. You need to get into the mindset that the yard staff and even the office are more used to industrial purchasers. You are not going to get your ego stroked by friendly customer-service felial waitrons, especially on busy Saturdays. Most of the customers are in welding clothes and drive beat trucks. You don't need a fancy truck if you can just fix the old one with a welding rod. Drive in, knowing what you want. The yard dudes load it while you walk to the office to pay. Be a pro. Don't block things. If you have a ton of questions, pull off to the side, before asking, On length. Plan ahead how lengthly and heavy the metal you are buying is. Bring a suitably studly vehicle, even if you have to borrow a friend and their truck, because it's hard to fit a 20' length of steel in a Mini. Yes, size matters. Bring the law-required flag for protruding things you are hauling in your bench seat vehicle. So it's a little different than the suburban retail suppliers. Here it is all about the price per pound and the pounds per foot. But if you want raw STEEL at industrial prices, cheap, this is the most solid place in Portlandia.

He didn't charge me full price knowing i had gotten ripped off somewhere else, FAB Flo helped me out on a Friday afterhours with just a phone message, he contacted me within 5 min! Then agreed to do it that day... A friday night. He completed the project in a very very short time! It was done very well this time by Fo Fab! after having been done by another welder and paid for a very crappy job, it turned out crooked not even square. So Flo Fab really came through. AND did it for a reasonable price even though it could have cost me in the hundreds somewhere else!
