Metal Rods, Shapes & Sheets

Metal Rods, Shapes and Sheet Metal for Home Repair Projects and More

Commonly used in screen doors, kitchen equipment and for assorted do-it-yourself projects, a metal rod has a wide range of applications. An aluminum metal angle rod is lightweight and simple to cut with a hack saw, making it a good choice for general around-the-house repairs. Aluminum is also typically easy to recycle

For machinery or equipment repair, choose a metal angle rod made of hot rolled steel. We carry weldable steel rods that can have surface coatings and other finishes applied to match your project. Many of the rods in our inventory are manufactured in the United States.

Galvanized sheet metal works well for making kick plates, ramps, running boards and you can even use it for purely decorative purposes. It’s easy to clean and resistant to weather and corrosion. Like a steel plate, an aluminum sheet metal plate is weather- and corrosion resistant. It’s also relatively lightweight and available in a bright finish that looks great. When working with any sheet metal smooth sharp edges with a file or emery cloth before installing to reduce the risk of injury. Use sheet metal screws to fasten the sheets and plates securely.

Metal angles, sometimes known as pieces of angle iron, are often made of aluminum and steel. Solid angles are great for a range of applications, from making frames for screen doors to protecting the corners of walls in businesses and workplaces. Slotted angles are perforated with holes that allow quick assembly and adjustment of equipment shelves, tool storage racks and more.
