Structural tubing is a useful and popular alternative to solid steel. Structural tubing is a type of hollow pipe, usually made of steel but also sometimes made of aluminum, alloy, brass, or carbon, depending on its final purpose. For example, aluminum is very lightweight so it is ideal for construction purposes, while brass is long-lasting which is useful for plumbing. Overall, structural tubing offers exceptional strength with reduced weight in comparison to solid steel.

Structural tubing is constructed when rolled metal coils are professionally cut, folded, shaped, and welded into the preferred shape, usually tubular or circular, but sometimes rectangular, squared, or even oval. Structural tubing is strong, versatile, comes in many sizes, and commonly receives treatment with a protective chemical coating which makes it more durable.
