Dallas–Fort Worth has a job-shop base as deep as any in Texas, from truck body builders along I-20 to machine shops supplying the aerospace and defense plants in Fort Worth and Grand Prairie. Winston Materials sources their steel, aluminum and stainless and delivers it cut to size. We're a Dripping Springs distributor with no DFW branch or pickup. You deal with one person and get most quotes the same business day.
Delivery coverage across DFW
We deliver to Dallas, Fort Worth and the cities around them: Arlington and Grand Prairie along I-30 and I-20, Garland to the northeast off I-635, and Denton to the north where I-35E and I-35W rejoin. Industrial parks along the Alliance corridor north of Fort Worth and the inland port south of Dallas are covered the same way.
Material comes up I-35 from Central Texas. Delivery depends on the size and weight of the order, so a pallet of cut aluminum and a bundle of 24-foot tube are quoted differently, and the delivery plan is on the quote. If you run a tight production schedule, give us your need date and we'll tell you plainly whether it works.
DFW industries we supply
Trailer and truck body builders are a big share of the DFW steel market: flatbeds, dump bodies, service bodies and utility trailers for the region's construction and delivery fleets. They go through A500 tube, channel and sheet by the bundle and want consistent lengths so the jig doesn't have to change.
The aerospace and defense plants around Fort Worth and Grand Prairie support a long supply chain of machine shops making fixtures, brackets and prototype parts, where 6061 and 7075 with certs are routine. DFW's sign makers stay busy on retail, restaurant and corporate campus work across a metro that keeps adding all three.
Popular materials in Dallas–Fort Worth
Square and rectangular tube in A500 is the main line for trailer and body frames. Sizes like 2x3, 2x4 and 3x3 in 3/16 and 1/4 inch wall show up on a lot of trailer lists. Hot rolled, cold rolled and galvanized sheet covers body skins, fenders and toolboxes: hot rolled pickled and oiled for painted parts, G90 galvanized where the part lives outside unpainted.
For machine shops, aluminum bar and rod in 6061 and 7075 is the steady order. Sign shops order aluminum sheet in 5052-H32 for formed faces and returns, and 3003 for flat panels that just need to hold paint.
