Buy Structural Steel Columns Online

Custom-cut to order
Delivery or Click & Collect

At Edcon Steel, we supply structural columns made from high-quality 300PLUS® grade mild steel (hot-rolled) custom-cut to the exact length you need. Whether you’re a builder erecting a new frame or a DIY renovator adding a support post, our steel columns provide reliable strength, weldability and durability. Whenever possible, we source Australian-made steel that meets all relevant standards (AS/NZS 3679.1)

Structural steel columns are the vertical backbone in many constructions – essentially, they’re the sturdy steel posts holding up floors, beams or roofs. These columns have a robust H-shaped profile (also called Universal Columns or UCs), which gives them exceptional strength for supporting heavy loads for quality and consistency.

Order online for nationwide delivery, or visit one of our stores in NSW (Brookvale, Revesby, Blacktown, Bathurst, and Orange) for expert advice and local pick-up.

Work Smarter with Edcon Steel

Consult the Experts: Always confirm your column size and load requirements with a qualified engineer or builder before purchase. Structural columns are critical elements, so proper specification is vital for safety.
Plan for Corrosion Protection: If your project is outdoors or near the coast, choose galvanised steel or apply a protective paint coating to prevent rust.

Safe Handling: Steel columns are heavy. Arrange appropriate lifting equipment or ask our team for loading assistance when picking up from our Brookvale, Revesby or other NSW stores. Always transport long columns with proper support and flags for safety.

Custom Fabrication: Save time on-site by ordering columns with base plates, cleats, or pre-drilled holes. Edcon’s fabrication team can prepare your column to spec, so it’s ready to install upon delivery or pickup; no extra drilling or welding needed on your end.

Stock availability: Edcon Steel stocks a range of structural steel column at all our NSW branches for quick pickup. If you require a different size, we can source it from our suppliers. Just let us know your specific requirements.

Common Uses and Sectors: Structural Steel Columns

Structural steel columns are used wherever robust vertical support is needed. In residential construction, they may serve as a central support post in an open-plan home or support a verandah or carport. In larger commercial and industrial structures, multiple steel columns form the skeletal framework of warehouses, factories and multi-storey buildings, safely transferring the load of beams and floors down to the foundations.

Civil engineering and infrastructure projects also rely on steel columns, for bridge supports, large sheds, public structures, and more. Thanks to their high strength and reliability, these columns are a go-to choice across the building & construction, civil works, and infrastructure sectors.

Edcon Steel supplies customers across New South Wales and Australia with structural columns for all these applications. From city projects in Sydney to rural builds in Bathurst and Orange, our steel columns are trusted to perform in a wide range of projects big and small.

What finishes are available for structural columns?

Choose from mill (plain), primed, or hot-dip galvanised finishes depending on your project needs and exposure conditions.

Are your structural columns certified to Australian standards?

Yes. All steel columns meet AS/NZS 3679.1 and are manufactured from 300PLUS® grade mild steel. Certification can be supplied on request.

Is there a minimum quantity I need to order?
