As per thread title. I am in Wellington South. I've previously bought simple square and round tube from Bunnings, but am interested in doing stuff with different extrusions and profiles that isn't available from the big box retailers.

 

My immediate requirement is for some oval profile - I have previously seen this available as wardrobe rail. Bunnings has this listed on its website but not actually available anywhere convenient. Mitre 10 seems to be the same so am trying to find a new supplier that will supply homne DIY level quantities.

 

Longer term, I can see some fun on the horizon with v slot profile too.

 

Hoping for either a decent online store that ships, or somewhere that is at least somewhat geographically convenient.

Ullrich have branches nearly everywhere. Usually easy to deal with.

Ulrich will happy do cash sales.  There sites pretty clear with what is stock (lots of options) and what is run only more options.

 

 

 

When you say V slot profile you mean https://store.alexco.co.nz/collections/20x20-series-v-slot-extrusion-and-hardware

 

I have bought from them a few times, and they are based in Miramar so should be close for you.  They may have other profiles listed, but their jam is slot extrusion.

Not geographically close, but SD Aluminium can arrange delivery and cutting if necessary.

 

I've not yet purchased from them, but their prices seem reasonable and they're opening a branch down the road from my nearest Bunnings and Mitre 10. I am looking forward to having more choice for less money.
