Structural Universal Columns
At Edcon Steel, we supply structural universal 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 universal 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 known as UCs), which provides them with exceptional strength for supporting heavy loads, ensuring 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.

Key Specifications & Options: Structural Universal Columns
|
Specification |
Details |
| Section Profile | H-shaped Universal Column (UC) sections with parallel flanges, providing high structural strength. |
| Material | Hot-rolled 300PLUS® grade mild steel (AS/NZS 3679.1 compliant). Stainless steel sections available by special order if required. |
| Dimensions | Depths from ~100 mm up to ~350 mm. Stocked range spans roughly 100UC to 150UC sizes, while larger sections (e.g. 200–350 UC or welded columns) can be sourced or fabricated on request. Flange widths are approximately equal to section depth. |
| Lengths | Standard lengths ~9.0 m, 10.5 m, 12.0 m (depending on size). Longer lengths up to ~18 m are available for large sections. All columns can be cut to your required length. |
| Finishes | Mill (plain) finish, primed (painted) finish, or hot-dip galvanised finish for corrosion protection – depending on your project needs. |
| Cutting & Fabrication | Custom cutting to any length is offered (no minimum length – we can cut even small sections). We also provide fabrication services such as welding base plates, cleats or brackets, and drilling holes for connections, so your column arrives ready to install. |

Common Uses and Sectors: Structural Universal Columns
Structural universal 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 universal 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.
