This item in the image is a length of square tubing or hollow structural section, typically made of galvanized steel
This material is a fundamental structural component in the sign industry due to its strength, durability, and versatility:
- Sign Posts: The square design provides excellent torsional strength, making it ideal for signposts for a variety of signage, including parking signs, traffic signs, and site identification signs. Perforated versions allow for adjustable mounting heights.
- Structural Framing: The tubing is used to construct rigid internal frames for larger sign cabinets, light boxes, or architectural displays.
- Mounting and Bracing: It serves as a reliable material for internal bracing to reinforce signs against wind and weather, or as brackets for mounting signs to walls or other surfaces.
- Modular Displays: The uniform and precise profile allows for integration into custom or modular display systems for retail environments or trade show booths, often using specialized connectors.
- The material's corrosion resistance makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
