Oh gee ... not much for this one ... from my supplier ... maybe $12 ... $15 tops ... haven't stopped to add it up ... I have a gr8 source for steel.

I calculated my expense one these bars ... so far I used up 5 and a half feet of re-bar my cost 10.90 and 8 feet of 1 ½ X 1/8” flat stock apx. $7 or so (I believe) at this point I have $17.90 and I’ll probably put in another $10 bucks for mounts and a pad lock so my total cost on materials should be no more around $30 per set including paint. The price I mentioned before was was just a guess on materials to that point … I broke out the calculator and figured it out ... still in all … cheap insurance.

oops my bad ... I meant 2 and a half 5 foot sections of re-bar (12' total apx give or take a little) I bought 12 - 5' pieces 60' total for $29.90. but I est. of $30 total cost for the window bars is pretty accurate.

Actually to clarify that I did two sets of window bars so double the amount of material ... my first est. was close the two would be around $30 or so ... was fun to make that was the BEST part. I'm going to set it up with three pins that drop into holes and the fourth mount will be a pad lock covered so no one can take bolt cutters to it ... the pins will be too thick for bolt cutters (and least reasonable size ones). I love Coyote Steel Co.if I had gone to a hardware store it would have cost 4 or 5 times more. When I buy from Coyote the prices are so good I but in bulk saves me a lot.

Now, if you could just weld razor blades to the tips....

cheap insurance.

...and maybe a break on homeowner's insurance? That would be worth a phone call.
