Hi

Well you can have metal section beams extruded, so you can have steel,alumium or brass beams extruded to any dimensions you require but you have to pay for the extrusion dies to be made.

Rolled section might be cheaper. Depends on size.

Thanks to all for your advices!

Extrusion of profile seems to be the best solution however I need just 2m meters of such a profile so it would be pretty expensive.

I think rolling a sheet would be the cheapest solution and I see that there are firms which do it.
