Finding suitable materials in the UK

[Ben Tillett]

Hi everyone. This is my first post. Firstly thanks to Cody for his Jib-Arm Plans; they are excellent and perfect for the sort of setup I'm looking for. The major problem for me is that I am in the uk and even the simplest of items seem to be elusive here. Can anyone provide links to places where I can find steel square tubing, or another suitable material for the main arm? Thanks a lot for all the inspiration
