I'm building an aquarium at home and I need a metal rod that bends to a 90 degree angle over the top of the tank.

I can't find anything like this anywhere in Seoul, so I think it's best to get one custom made. Can anyone point me to a place in Seoul that does this kind of work and powder coats the metal so it doesn't rust as well?

I've put together a quick drawing of what the rod should look like (black).

Thanks in advance!

I always see back street places cutting/welding metal for korean kitchen fit outs/aircon brackets/window bars.

take a walk around some back streets with your drawing and a friend, success after 1 hour tops?

Guro Station on line 1 is great for that stuff if the above advice doesn't pan out, but it should if you live in an older neighborhood.

I couldn't find hex screws/bolts anywhere and every hardware store in my area said Guro...I had them within 2 minutes of exiting the station.

Saw lots of welding/cutting/bending metal shops as well.

The Jongno-3&4-ga area is full of stuff like that too, especially acrylics shops, if that might work as well.
