Galvanized Steel Tubing for Strong, Safe and Weather-Resistant Posts

Sign posts face constant wear from weather exposure, moisture, salt, impact, continuous vibration, and daily interaction from the public. Inferior or untreated materials can corrode, weaken, or discolour over time, leading to safety risks, early replacement, and higher long-term costs.

Supply Rite provides the solution. Our Flo-Coat® and Gatorshield® in-line galvanized sign posts deliver unmatched corrosion resistance, weld-zone integrity, and structural consistency, making them the ideal choice for posts used in high-traffic, high-visibility outdoor environments. Whether you’re building signage posts, park structures, railing supports, barrier posts, or architectural elements, our tubing performs reliably in even the harshest Canadian climates.

Engineered for the Demands of Public Spaces

• Flo-Coat® Galvanized Post Tubing
• Smooth, uniform coating ideal for powder coating or painting
• High yield strength for long-lasting structural performance
• Excellent for bending, welding, drilling, and cutting
• If you require more protection, try our Gatorshield® finish for 50% more hot-dipped zinc protection

Why Choose Supply Rite Steel Inc. for Sign Posts?

Our Flo-Coat® and Gatorshield® products are Mechanical Tube (not pipe) – engineered specifically for structural strength, consistency, and long-term outdoor performance, without the extra steps, mess, and variability that comes with hot-dipped galvanized pipe.

• High strength – ASTM A500 Tubing
• Guaranteed minimum 50,000 PSI Yield / 55,000 Tensile (often exceeding this rating by 10-15% on select gauges/sizes) 
• ASTM A5000 Tube allows you to drop to a lighter gauge, reducing material cost and minimizing wear on workers and equipment – all without compromising strength, and often increasing it.
