MotorSeven,
More questions. We are going to go w/the Industrial Base Plates. Are the all interchangable from company to company? Seems like each time we call or e-mail someone at SteelMaster, we get a different length that we'll need or a different price.
Thanks!![]()
Yes their price is really based on how much you will pay....that's what I hate about this type of business. You need 72'....I don't know how they can be confused on the length
I have been told by more than one source that there are only two mfg plants that make the arches/parts and that they are virtually identical. But, I have never mixmatched them, so just to be safe I would get a written guarantee. In 2007 I paid $1200 and change for 100' of Industrial Plate. With the cost increase in steel since then, I am guessing that you should pay somewhere between $1K & $1200 for 72'. Heck, if you keep getting different quotes, just keep calling until you get one you like:thumbsup:
Or, call a few other dealers and get quotes for 72'. I would even ask them if they will fit a SteelMaster arch, then call SM back and ask right for a supervisor, tell them you are tired of the run around and you will buy from them if they beat the other price. Trust me it works and if they say their plate is different, act like you know positively that they are identical.
Don't forget about shipping prices..they need to be competitive, their HQ is in Va, but I bet they ship from a different location. Ask where it is & you might be able to pick them up if you are close.
Did you get the footers done?
