Tubular steel is hollow steel, typically called duragal, pregalvanised steel or simply tube and is powdercoated a colour. It has a galvanised coating that when welded is removed. The coating that is applied after the welding process will affect the lifespan of the steel as it is the galvanising, priming or coating that delays the onset of rust.
A good quality powdercoating includes priming the welds to protect where this galvanising has been burnt off in the welding process. The more welding required on your job, the more we would recommend a rust prevention process, which can be external only or complete, depending on the application of the material and the environment it will be in.
The colour coat is not waterproof and will permeate water. This is why the process immediately after the welding is the critical one for your job.
The photos in our gallery show a sampling of popular and custom work, all in tubular steel. We can also compare prices in tube alumunium.
Auswest can provide something to suit your project timeline, budget or environment. Popular and economical 16mm round pickets for pool fencing, sturdier 19mm pickets for less flex and 20x20mm square pickets for a highly visible barrier and strength for security, such a Garrison fence.
Styles can vary with drilling or punching pickets into the rails to give you the same look from both sides and better strength or face welding to keep your costs down. Tubular steel has a life span which is greatly affected by the quality of the steel used, amount of welding in the fence, the coatings, the environment such as bore and salt water, and impact exposure e.g. objects being continually knocked against it. Your budget, local conditions and requirement will affect the product we can offer you.
For a wrought iron look, a variety of components can be added between railings and pickets and then powdercoated a textured finish. Remember that tubular steel is just that and the more welding to this type of steel, the more the protective galvanise coating is compromised and we will suggest better coatings. This type of steel is typically used for basic styles of barriers such as pool fencing, garden fencing, side gates, driveway gates and window grilles.
We sell components and accessories to help you with DIY and provide in house advice on how to assemble.
