Steel

At http://www.metalsdepot.com the cost of shipping doesn't change much based on quantity, at 6', it's $32.44 at 240', it's $35.65.

A 12' section of 3/4 steel tubing is $15.64. It would weigh about 8lbs, a 12' 2x4 would weight 26lbs and cost about $5.

I can get 3/4" round steel tubing on EB for $1/ft, including shipping.

Aluminum

I can get scrap aluminum on eBay for about $2.20/lb and can be worked in a Foundry.
