Small scale steel fabrication?

[Homerr]

I'm remodeling my basement in a few months and am going to do a seismic retrofit as part of it. I need about 30 custom galvanized connectors (they'll be more or less based on the Simpson URFP/FRFP series). I'd like to send off a drawing file for this for them work from.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an affordable small scale fabricator online?

Ayuh,.... Gettin' parts built is pretty easy, gettin' 'em galvanized is gonna be the tough part,....

Fabricators wouldn't offer galvanizing as an option?

Better bet would be to have them simply made out of SS304 although I'd want to design in some extra there. SS304 is pretty soft.

Alternative would be to powder-coat mild-steel.

If they have to be inspected you will want to figure out a way to use the Simpson since they are already an approved product.

Galvanizing is easy just about every major city has one or more places that do it. I know of 3 places within a few hours of me that can do it, one of them has tanks big enough to do truck frames.

I wouldn't even bother unless they are going in a known wet location, primer and paint is good enough for most applications.
