Steel Products FAQs in Sydney

A rectangular hollow section (RHS) has unequal external width and depth, while a square hollow section (SHS) has equal dimensions on all sides. RHS provides stronger bending resistance along its longer axis, making it suited to beams and horizontal spans. SHS offers uniform strength on all four sides, which suits columns and structural frameworks. Waratah Steel Supplies stocks both profiles for Sydney projects. Contact the team to confirm which section fits your application. Explore the full range on the steel products page.
