go to any sheetmetal shop and have your own bent up for less than the ebay add!

Yeah I got mine at a scrap yard for $20.00 and it was a 10 foot piece that I made 6 foot highbanker and another 4 foot sluice box...

Like Sakett said head to the junk yard & save a bundle! I usually hit a supply place & ask them if they have "drops" or damaged. A lot of times I can find a piece close to what I need & they only charge me scrap weight prices. If buying pipe or square tube. I throw the Honda generator & harbor freight baby cutoff saw in the trailer. Instead of paying $7.50 a cut to get it to a length I can carry, I do it myself in the parking lot. Although if gas prices go much higher it'll be cheaper to pay for the cuts.

i also carry my bat powered sawzall for this purpose.

Sheet metal shops always have scrap bins fulla parts and pieces for sale-buck a bend and good to go. Or craigslist buy a used on and good to go as you'll need them riffles when your mat fails...John
