Its only to make a basic welded up frame work to hold a tent above a trailer (got a roof tent to mount on my car trailer), so doesn't actually need to be that exact box section. i need the following lengths:-

4 x 0.8m
4 x 1.7m
3 x 1.4m
2 x 0.75m

I live about 40mins fom telford so could pick up no problem

can you wait till this afternoon so i can see if i can take what we have? We use to stock it but have none in stock, but i have found some on the racking and need to see if i can have it first. Should be able to cut it to the lengths shown too. I will post back here before 2pm today.

cost is minimal and should be less than half that qouted above. but let me come back by 2 pm.

Brilliant!!!!! No need to cut it, i don't want to put you out, just need it it lengths on put on my trailer or on the roof of the car. No major rush either, was just going to order it this week.

You don't do ali sheet aswell do you, i only need about 500m x 1000mm plus some off cuts

Hi mate, sorry but it looks like I can’t use what we have in stores. The lengths I have seen are for development parts and I can’t take any. Sorry to mess you about, I thought I would try and help out as someone on here did the same for me a few months back but unfortunately it’s a no go.

I can tell you that we bought our stock from a place called ‘Christmas stockholders’ in Shrewsbury. We paid £11.25 for each length at 7600mm long (but this was 6 months ago and may have risen since and we did buy large amounts). Their number is 01743 462515, they might be able to help you out.

Andy.
