Title: Need Diamond Plate
Post by: Brad @ SCJB on June 21, 2007, 05:20:41 PM: I just went to lowes to pick up some diamond plate and for a 24"x48" paper thin piece, it was $89 :o

Anyone suggest anywhere to get this stuff cheaper? I found it online for less, but dont want to pay the shipping charges, need somewhere local. Thickness doesnt matter since I am just dressing up the fender steps on the trailer.

Thanks.

I got a sheet that appears to be about 4'x4' (15lbs) at $3.49/lb This was the single bar style. They also had the 5 bar and single bar embossed which is like a grough tiny grid on top of each bar. They advertised the embossed bar as the stuff thats on fire trucks. The embosed stuff was about a buck a pound more.

Thanks again to crewcheiff22 for letting me know about this place. Good thing I dont know how to weld or else that place would get me in trouble....lots of cool stuff.
