Painted SHS Structural Steel Tube
Overview
Painted SHS (square hollow sections) are high-strength cold-formed hollow steel square sections that are primer painted for protection during storage and handling. SHS is often used when strength and functionality is essential in structural and mechanical applications. DuraPrimed primer paint for tubular steel products has been developed specifically to save users time and money without compromising quality.
Steelforce’s SHS products are available in a range of heights and thicknesses. SHS can be used for various applications, most commonly the manufacturing of frames, residential projects for gates and posts, as well as other commercial and agricultural purposes.
