Title: Round bar source
Post by: jhawk13 on January 18, 2017, 10:13:53 PM: Starting to put together a materials list for what I am going to need. I am having trouble finding a source that sells cheap round bar for doors and frames for live traps. As well as channel bar or angle Iron. Located SW Washington. If someone wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!

These traps will not be for sale, just personal use.
