The size to be selected should be determined by the intended purpose of the construction (eg handrail, guardrail, racking etc). With the larger, more robust, sizes being particularly suited to heavy duty applications.
It should also be considered whether the construction will have any load bearing requirements (i.e. racking) or if it is required to conform to any relevant British Standards (BS) / European Normatives (EN) such as a Key Clamp handrail etc.
Alternative tube sizes / specifications (such as Light / Heavy Wall, Self Colour, Threaded Ends, Aluminium, Stainless Steel, SHS, ERW) are available on request.
