Steel Rectangular Tubing Available for Purchase Now
Rectangular tubing is a type of hollow structural section (HSS) with a rectangular cross-section, sometimes called a box section. A steel sheet or coil is stamped into a rectangular shape with stamping dies and then welded together on the inside where the two edges meet. Its shape provides more strength than angles or channels, while still being easy to weld and cut. These properties make rectangular steel tubing ideal for applications such as structural support, general fabrication, manufacturing, and repairs.
Benefits of Rectangular Tubing
Rectangular steel tubing has a number of benefits that differentiate it from other shapes:
- Optimized bending strength along a preferred axis
- High moment of inertia and efficient for long spans
- Closed-section torsional and buckling resistance
- Favorable geometry for welding and joining
- Structural design flexibility when depth vs. width size matters
- Stability under combined loads like bending + compression + torsion

Bending rectangular tubing can be very difficult, and can become more complex depending on the aspect ratio and wall thickness. You need precise control and specialized machinery to avoid cross-section distortion, twisting, or wall thickness damage. We do not recommend DIY or improvised bending because of the risks and potential to compromise your steel’s structural integrity.
At Service Steel Warehouse, we can facilitate specialized cambering services to bend your structural steel products to precise angles and radii. When requesting a quote for rectangular tubing, let your sales rep know that they will need to be cambered or bent, and they will assist you.
Rectangular tubing offers similar compressive strength to square tubing but may provide more bending resistance in one axis, depending on the orientation of the larger side. This makes it suitable for beams and structural applications where directional loads are anticipated.
Yes. We stock a wide range of rectangular tubing sizes suitable for large-scale construction and industrial applications, ensuring immediate availability for projects across the country.
We maintain large (and local) inventories of rectangular steel tubing of various sizes, grades, and aspect ratios.
