Very simple to order various parts for a small project and know how much it would cost before commiting to it. I was able to quickly plan and build a small forge and have metal to forge.
great website, easy to navigate, found material that my larger supplier was no longer carrying. I will definitely be ordering again
Fast, quick, and easy. So easy to just order exactly what you need rather than arguing with someone at a welding shop on what they think you need
Great product. Exactly as described. They are very easy to deal with and shipping was very quick. I'm very happy. I brush the aluminum and then UV print on it. It worked very well.

About our aluminum
Most aluminum projects start and end with 6061: it machines clean, welds well, and holds up outside. It's most of our aluminum shelf for a reason, nearly all of it T6. Forming or bending sheet? 5052 takes a bend without cracking. Anodized trim or architectural work? That's 6063 extrusion. We also keep 3003 sheet for general fab.
You're covered on shapes: flat bar, round bar, square bar, hex bar, angle, channel, sheet, pipe, and square and rectangular tube. Pick a size, type your length in inches, and we cut to ±1/8″ and ship anywhere in Canada. Not sure which alloy fits? Call 902-468-1112 and we'll talk it through.
Which aluminum alloy should you buy?
6061-T6, unless you've got a reason not to. It's strong enough for brackets, frames, jigs, and machined parts, it welds, and it handles weather without paint. The exceptions are worth knowing: bending sheet wants 5052, anodized trim and visible edges want 6063, and budget sheet fab is 3003's whole job.
| Alloy | We stock it as | Buy it for |
|---|---|---|
| 6061-T6 | Most shapes on the rack | Brackets, frames, machined parts, anything with a bolt through it |
| 6063-T5 | Angle, channel, and tube profiles | Railings, trim, enclosures, edges people see and touch |
| 5052-H32 | Sheet | Sheet that gets bent or formed without cracking |
| 3003 | Sheet | General fab, liners, and patch panels |
Torn between the two sixes? Our 6061 vs 6063 guide puts the numbers side by side with June 2026 prices. New to buying aluminum? The full aluminum buying guide covers alloys, tempers, and shapes in one read.
What shapes can you get cut to length?
Why build with aluminum instead of steel?
Weight. Aluminum runs about a third the weight of steel, so anything you lift, carry, tow, or bolt to a vehicle gets easier to live with. The honest trade: it's softer, it dents sooner, and a 6061 bracket usually needs more section than the steel one it replaces. If the part bolts to a trailer or a boat, that trade is usually worth making.
Will aluminum corrode?
Not the way steel does. It forms its own oxide skin and stops there, so uncoated 6061 outdoors just goes dull grey and keeps working. Near salt water it can pit over time: rinse it occasionally, and put 316 stainless fasteners through it rather than plain steel. If looks matter, anodizing is the finish, and 6063 anodizes the cleanest.
Not sure which alloy your project wants? Ask the counter and we'll talk it through.
