Description
RHS Steel – Rectangular 8M
Our Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) steel provides a high-strength, multipurpose structural solution. Manufactured to Australian standards, these 8-metre lengths feature a consistent rectangular profile with clean, square corners. The stocked Duragal (galvanised) finish offers excellent corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor applications. RHS is a favourite for fabrication due to its aesthetic appeal, ease of welding, and efficient strength-to-weight ratio.
