Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS): overview and uses

Rectangular hollow sections (RHS) offer greater stiffness about one axis than the other, which suits beams, purlins, girts, door frames and spans where loading is predominantly in one direction.

They are widely used in sheds, canopies, mezzanines, trailer and equipment frames and general fabrication. Size, thickness and finish are confirmed per enquiry.
