Why Kansas City (and Topeka) Trust Metal By The Foot for Custom Cut Metal

🏙️ Why Kansas City Builds Better with Metal By The Foot

Whether you're fabricating a backyard smoker in Brookside or welding up a trailer in Topeka, there's one place Kansas City counts on for metal: Metal By The Foot.

We’re more than a metal supplier — we’re part of the build-it-yourself heartbeat of the Midwest. Here’s why Kansas City welders, DIYers, and contractors trust us for everything from steel square tubing to custom-cut aluminum sheet.

📍 1. We’re Local. Like, Actually Local.

Born and raised in Kansas City (with roots in Topeka, too), we understand what Midwest builders need. That’s why we:

1. Stock the right gauges and lengths for local projects
2. Know the seasonal quirks (hello, humid welding booths)
3. Can actually pronounce “Chouteau Trafficway” without flinching

When you Google metal supplier Kansas City, you should find someone who’s not just in your area — but in your corner.

🔩 2. Cut to Size, No Attitude

Kansas City doesn’t mess around — neither do we. You tell us the size, we cut it. No minimums. No dirty looks. Just clean cuts and quick service, every time.

Need one stick of angle iron for a backyard gate? Done.

Twenty sheets of steel for a commercial job? Let’s go.

🔧 3. Your Tools, Your Terms

We don’t just sell metal — we stock tools made for Kansas City’s hardest-working hands. That means:

1. iGaging measuring tools you won’t find anywhere else in KC
2. Welding gloves that don’t give up halfway through the job
3. Measuring tapes that actually stick to metal (because magnets exist, folks)

🤖 4. Colossus Is Watching

If you’ve ever driven by and thought, “Is that a giant robot?” — yes. That’s Colossus, our 25-foot-tall metal mascot made from scrap. He’s welded together from the same kind of metal you can buy in-store.

Because here in Kansas City, we believe your shop decor should be as strong as your welds.
