I have used PVC for a long time, but it just doesn't have the same feel. I am looking to buy a flat bar rail in the future - where could I find one for a lowish price.

Shit site, for shit boxes. Really, two legs? even four would be pushing it, especially for a grand. Just make a box. HDPE, find some metal piping, drill/weld holes into it, and then just fasten it on. Of course the frame plays a part but I'm assuming you know what it would look like/cost.

Did not title, thought box, not rail. But just weld/make one. Go to a metal shop. They'll be able to do it if you can't get a welder/aren't comfortable.

just an add on - can I find a steel bar at Lowe's or Home depot cause that would be much cheaper than getting one for 1, 000 bucks online.

no. you must have a scrap steel yard near you (google it if you dont know, because there probably is one). just go there and look around, i guarantee you will find what you're looking for for less than 100 total (including material for the legs). go in with a general idea of what you need and make sure to buy extra so you dont have to go back.
