Product overview

Square Hollow Sections (SHS): overview and uses

Square hollow sections (SHS) are closed steel tubes with a square profile. Their equal stiffness in both directions and clean appearance make them popular for columns, frames, fence posts and architectural steel.

OGB supplies SHS in a range of sizes and wall thicknesses for structural and fabrication use. Galvanized and black (mill finish) options are confirmed per enquiry.
