Thanks for the suggestions, I will check all those places out this coming week but looking on their sites I'm really not seeing exactly what I need. Check out the picture im attaching, these are the parts and the NAMEs of the parts I need. All these carports, name brands, etc, regardless of size are built exactly alike which leads me to believe theres a company(s) that stamp this stuff out by the millions and then sells it to retail companies, large and small, that make these carports and light duty buldings. Its this type company (the factory) or a distributor of the components that im trying to locate in the usa.
Like i was saying i can find numerous retail carport companies that sell them as total kits, either they can install or diy BUT i cant find one that will sell just the individual components nor will they divulge where they get their supplies from, which i can understand them not doing because they wouldnt want any more competition if they have anything to do with it.
So i want to go to the source of these components, even if I have to buy a truckload of parts and components. This is where im drawing a blank searching, cant find one supplier of components. Menards, home depot, lowes, some fence companies, etc. sell these kits but they are doing so on a retail basis, im looking for some wholesale prices for these things. Look at this pic in this post, these components are named this regardless of what retail kit or name brand you go with. Rafters, legs and baserails, they're just 12-14 gauge square tubes which i can find and of course can buy the R panels locally, but the "side bends" and "center bends" are what im finding tough to locate and all these pieces fit together like line posts on chain link fence, then you screw them together to form the unit.
Any ideas on these particular parts? Or on second thought i guess i could buy a bender and bend them myself.
