Default making a light rack..

went to home depot today,
prices of the aluminum steels are pretty expensive..
so now im thinking to let the pros handle the work..

Does anybody know where I can customize a light rack
made by stainless steel in Vancouver?
Or anybody has experience making one before??

Thanks!

I just finished mine, was easy 3 hours and $75.00 in materials (including 80' of wire for the endcaps and paint) pretty basic but achieved the look I was after, not sure where in Burnaby you could get one done but I am sure there is no shotage of fabricators in the GVRD.

My brother in law is a metal fabricator and could do this for you easily. PM me if you are interested.

Not local, but I built one out of aluminum stock. I found the prices for aluminum reasonable at Princess Auto. Should be a PA in GVR. Check it out.

stainless steel is a great product but is pricey.
I'm steel fabrictor but I'm laid off right now, so no place to work on that stuff.
