Galvanized Metal Tubing for Unmatched Durability in Construction Projects
The quality of materials is one of the most important factors in residential and light commercial construction. To build a sturdy structure that stands the test of time, materials must deliver strength, consistency, and long-term protection against the elements. Galvanized steel tubing provides all of this and more, offering a stable, non-combustible, corrosion-resistant solution for scaffolding, framing, bracings and other structural components that must perform reliably for decades.
Supply Rite delivers high-quality Gatorshield® and Flo-Coat® galvanized tubing engineered specifically for builders who demand durability and ease of fabrication on every job.
Why Builders Trust Galvanized Steel Tubing
Construction environments expose materials to moisture, temperature changes, and physical wear that can quickly damage wood or untreated metals. Our galvanized steel tubing overcomes these challenges thanks to its triple-layer zinc coating that shields it from rust, corrosion, and weathering, even on cut edges and welded areas. The result is a structural material that maintains its shape and strength without shrinking, rotting, swelling, splitting, or warping.
Galvanized steel tubing is:
- Non-combustible, helping improve building safety
- Dimensionally stable, with no movement from humidity changes
- Stronger and more consistent than wood in load-bearing applications
- Highly durable, even in damp or exposed environments
From construction sites to completed buildings, it performs reliably where it matters most.
Superior Corrosion Protection
Allied’s Gatorshield® and Flo-Coat® galvanizing processes provide industry-leading corrosion resistance through a triple-layer system:
- 99.99% pure zinc coating
- A conversion layer that passivates the zinc
- A clear organic topcoat for added protection and a smooth, bright finish
This combination ensures that the tubing can resist rust in outdoor and high-moisture environments, maintain a clean appearance for architectural or visible applications, and withstand exposure to construction chemicals, cleaners, and abrasives. Whether used indoors or outdoors, the coating provides long-term performance without flaking or peeling.
Fabricator-Friendly for On-Site or In-Shop Builds
Galvanized tubing from Supply Rite Steel is engineered for effortless fabrication. Because the zinc coating is applied in a controlled in-line process, rather than by hot-dip galvanizing, it remains smooth, even, and tightly bonded to the steel. This ensures:
- Clean, consistent welds with minimal fumes
- No flaking, chipping, or cracking during bending
- The ability to be swaged, flattened, drilled, or cut
- Strong adhesion for paint or powder coating when needed
Strength You Can Rely On
Cold-formed galvanized tubing delivers high yield and tensile strength, making it ideal for load-bearing and structural components. Its superior rigidity and impact resistance ensure that finished structures stand up to daily use, weather exposure, and long-term stress, reducing repair and replacement cycles.
