Sources for Materials

[DrDave]

As a novice inventor and all around DIY guy, I am always looking for places to buy materials. Most of my stuff comes from Harbor Freight and Home Depot but sometimes I have to look elsewhere. This thread is here to share your resources. These should be places available to everyone either by geography or Internet.

My latest find is : http://www.teksupply.com

I went through their free catalog today and found many items we can use including tape that I believe can be used for splicing liners and making repairs.

Check them out and get their free catalog.

See page 145 of the Tek Supply catalog for "TapeCoat".

***for barrels ..carwashs are the way to go...out of the ones i called most give them away but you gotta catch them in time.. others sell them for $10.00 - $15.00..still cheap but they have them on hand.
***for stocktanks...TSC (tractor supply company) they carry 40..50..70..100...110...150..& 300 gallon tanks.. the 40 and 110 arent Rubbermade and are quite cheaper...all good for filters or nursery ponds
*** I can walk thru Lowes or Home Depot any time and find things that could be usefull in building ponding equipment, i would imagine thats true for any home improvement store.
***link to TSC.....http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp...10551_10001?cm_mmc=SEM-_-Google-_-brand-_-tsc
........this is a great idea so we can basically have our own private directory............

Here is a link to Armor bags who makes custom media bags. They appear to me to be very well made.

Another link is to two PVC shops that seem to have everything, even esoteric fittings.

You are absolutley correct! I am going to delete every post in this thread that did not add a link to a new source.

All the deleted (replies) threads have been moved to: Replies on Sources for Materials. I was unaware of this feature before.
