I do not know where to buy metal in OP but if you want to drive about 25 miles you can buy what you need at Jacksons Welding in Ottawa. It is right off of I-35 as you get to Ottawa. They carry a lot of metal from sheet metal to square or rectangular tubing. They have always been reasonable on their prices and they are great people to do business with.
Here is their website. Jackson Trailer Sales and Welding- Home

Thanks, I check the address from mine, it is too far, more then 1 hour drive. Do any one knows any place closer?

Have you checked Metal by the Foot in Olathe? They would probably have it.

[CharlieM]

Metal by the Foot in Olathe is right next to Simmons Gun Repair in the 700 block of Rogers Road. Just down from where the old Olathe Hospital used to be.

Cool, Olathe is close to me, I will check it out.

Shawnee Metal on Merriam Drive just north of SM Parkway about 1/4 mile will have what you need.

then call shawnee metal, they refer me to Royal metal, which refer me to metal cut to legth in Olathe

by the way do anyone knows what is the thickness i should use for the railer?

[Birdgod]

Metal cut to length call me , the thickness they have is 14 gauge, I think that is not strong enough to be the tounge of the trailer......

How much tongue weight and what is the length of the tongue? Square or rectangular tubing is extremely strong depending upon the use. There is a whole lot more that goes into figuring the weight carrying capacity of a particular piece of iron than the thickness of the iron.
