Work Smarter with Edcon Steel

Plan Your Lengths: Most SHS is stocked in 6 m standard lengths. Try to design around standard sizes to reduce off-cuts and save on costs. Our team can also help you plan the best cutting list for maximum yield and value.

Choose the Right Wall Thickness: Select the SHS wall gauge based on your project needs. Thicker walls are best for structural loads and critical welds, while lighter walls suit non-structural or weight-sensitive jobs.

Custom Fabrication: Save time on-site by ordering SHS fabricated by our expert team. We can prepare your steel to spec, so it’s ready to install, no extra drilling or welding needed on your end.

Cut & Handle Safely: Always wear appropriate PPE when cutting or grinding steel. After cutting SHS, be sure to de-burr any sharp edges for a safe, clean finish. If you don’t have the right tools, let us do the cutting for you; we’ll deliver your SHS in ready-to-use lengths with clean cuts.

Common Uses and Sectors: Steel Square Hollow Section (SHS)

SHS steel is used across a broad range of applications in building, fabrication, and engineering. Its balance of strength and ease of use makes it a staple for structural frameworks, supports, and general fabrication. Common uses include load-bearing posts, columns, beams, and bracing in construction, as well as fence posts, gate frames, and handrails in residential projects. Trailers and vehicle frames often rely on SHS for a strong yet lightweight chassis, and many farm structures (like sheds, stockyard fences, and equipment enclosures) use galvanised SHS for durability in the elements.

Key industries benefiting from SHS steel span construction, civil works, infrastructure, agriculture, and manufacturing. Builders and engineers trust SHS for everything from house frames and mezzanine supports to large-scale infrastructure like bridges and public walkways.
