Easy method to create fence uprights?

admin

The boss wants a coupla metal panels in our cedar fence.  I went to a fence company today and about had a heart attack!  $120 for an 8 ft panel.  Anyone have a simple, repeatable method to press the ends of 1/2 inch tubing flat?  I don't own a press brake.  I figure if I can flatten one end, I can use the chop saw to trim the corners and then cut to length..........Thanks!ron

Reply:Wow, Thanks!Shipping concerns me, but their prices look pretty reasonable.  I might look closer to home and see if I can find a local fab place.  I did order their catalog.  Appreciate the information.
