Work Smarter with Edcon Steel

Plan Your Lengths: Purlins are typically stocked in 6 m and 9 m lengths. Designing around these can reduce waste. Need something different? We’ll cut to your exact size.

Protect Against Rust: Our galvanised purlins resist corrosion, but if you cut or drill them, seal exposed edges with cold-gal or primer. For coastal areas, choose hot-dip galvanised for full protection.

Plan for Delivery: Short lengths can ship by courier or post. Longer or bulk orders go via our trucks (Sydney) or national freight. We deliver daily in metro and regional NSW.

Store Safely: Stack purlins flat, dry and off the ground to avoid bending or surface rust. Good storage keeps them ready to install.

Check with a Professional: Always confirm sizes, spans and loads with a builder or engineer. Correct sizing ensures your structure is safe and compliant.

Common Uses and Sectors: Steel Purlin

Steel purlins are essential in both light and heavy construction. In residential and commercial builds, they support roofing and wall cladding in carports, garages, sheds, and warehouses. C-purlins are often used for simple framing, while Z-purlins allow overlapping and longer spans, which is ideal for larger structures.

Purlins are also widely used in industrial and infrastructure projects like factories, logistics hubs, and farm buildings. Their high strength-to-weight ratio makes them perfect for efficient roof and wall systems, especially where cost-effective framing is critical.

With galvanised finishes, purlins perform well outdoors and in rural environments. They’re a top choice for barn roofs, equipment shelters, and large sheds exposed to the elements.
