The carport industry's workhorse tube.

14 ga galvanized square tubing — 2.25″×2.25″ and 2.5″×2.5″ — held square, diamond-cut, bundled on wood slats, and delivered truckload after truckload from Mansfield, Ohio.

What We Run for Carports

Volume without the excuses.

Carport and metal building frames run on two sizes of tube, and the builders who win are the ones whose steel shows up — square, on time, in volume. This is among the highest-volume product we make: five ERW mills fed by our own 72″ slitter and thousands of tons of master coil, so the supply chain from coil to frame section lives under one roof.

FAQ

Carport tubing, answered.

What tubing is used for carports and metal buildings?

The industry standard is 14 ga galvanized square tube in 2.25″×2.25″ and 2.5″×2.5″ — the frame sections carport and metal building manufacturers run by the truckload. We produce both sizes in volume, with G60 Grade 50 and anti-corrosion treatment available per spec.

How do you keep carport tube square?

Squareness is the acceptance standard our carport customers write — frames won't assemble from out-of-square tube — so it's checked as part of the run, with diamond-cut ends per spec.

How is carport tubing packaged and shipped?

Per customer spec: typically 50-piece bundles with wood slats between layers, lengths under 32 ft, loaded for the receiving equipment on your yard. Standing truckload programs keep high-volume builders supplied week after week.

Can you support high-volume carport programs?

Yes — carport-frame square tube is among the highest-volume products we run, on five ERW mills fed by our in-house 72″ slitter and master coil inventory. Minimum order is a truckload, roughly 45,000 lb.
