    Can anyone recommend a place that sells chains, binders, straps, etc. in Saskatchewan or Alberta for reasonable prices?
    I've looked online and found plenty of US suppliers with good prices but obviously shipping that kind of weight is WAY too expensive.
    Thanks

    I buy my chains at Gregg Distributors, everything else at Titan Supply in Edmonton. If you have time to wait, I have ordered from shipperssupplies.com their prices were so good that the postage etc. was not a concern. tarpstop.com is another supplier online that I have used and I am very happy with.

    I found some used tarps on Kijiji but I've still gotta go look at them. He also had some chains and binders so hopefully I'll be able to get some stuff from him at a fair used price.

    I live in a small town but I priced out chain around here. Local welding/fabricating place wanted $4 a foot and (I think he made a mistake on this) $16 for each clevis hook.
    I also checked Peavey Mart and their Grade 70 3/8 was $3.69 a foot and $6 per hook.
    So to make a 20ft chain...I'd be looking at about $100 with tax.
    Not sure how that compares to any of the places you guys mentioned but seems high when comparing to the websites of US suppliers.
    I'll be in Medicine Hat/Lethbridge next week so I'll stop a t Fleet Brake and Fort Garry
