I'm the same as you Shot, I'm a Blacksmith, one of my customers came to me and said they had priced a dog run up, and could I do it any cheaper, I phoned my steel supplier and got a quote for what I needed, the price of steel alone was nearly as much as the dog run.

No messin 2 Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 same here, I'm a sheetmetal worker and when I looked at the price of materials and galonising it would have cost me more to make my own pens, needless to say I bought mine, not as good as I'd have made, but they do the job Quote Link to post Share on other sites

higgins 75 Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 The price of metal has shot up,due in most part to China needing more raw materials such as steel, a friend of mine who is in the scrap metal trade has reported very high prices quoted for copper,steel and aluminium metals,apparently they can't get this stuff fast enough..

anpablo 0 Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 try key fittings you can build a pen in about 2 hours all you need is a steel pipe cutter and a pair of pliars some galvanised pipe and some 2x2 wire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
