FAQs
What are the advantages of using CHS?
Is CHS suitable for outdoor and harsh environment applications?
Yes, round hollow sections are highly durable and suitable for outdoor and harsh environments. They are often treated with corrosion-resistant coatings to prevent degradation caused by weather conditions, chemicals, or salt exposure. This makes them ideal for infrastructure projects, such as bridges or offshore platforms, where long-term durability is essential.
Are Round Hollow Bars easy to fabricate and install?
Yes, CHS is relatively easy to fabricate and install, thanks to its uniform shape and availability in standard sizes. Steel CHS can be welded, bolted, or connected to other structural components with ease. Customisation allows for specific lengths and diameters to match your project’s needs, making the installation process more straightforward.
How do I calculate the required size of a section for my project?
The size of the CHS required depends on several factors, including the load it needs to support, the span between supports, and the specific application. Engineering calculations are required to determine the appropriate diameter and wall thickness, ensuring the CHS will meet the structural and safety requirements of your project. Consulting with our team can help you determine the optimal size.
Can Circular Hollow Bars be used for non-structural applications?
Yes, in addition to their structural applications, they are also used for non-structural purposes, such as in furniture design, handrails, and decorative elements. Their smooth finish and versatile properties make them suitable for a wide range of design and manufacturing applications.
How does Circular compare to other steel sections like square or rectangular hollow sections?
Unlike square or rectangular hollow sections, CHS has a uniform shape that provides better resistance to torsion (twisting forces) and is more efficient in distributing loads evenly. The round profile also allows for smooth connections to other structural elements and is more aesthetically pleasing, often chosen for architectural designs.

Excellent service once again from Southend Steels with a recent order, especially from the lovely and highly knowledgeable Amelia who was extremely helpful and provided great communication throughout. Very reasonable prices too. Highly recommend this company!
I was given the details for Southend Steels from an old school friend. Honestly they couldn’t have done more to help me. Amelia was on the phone whenever I needed her and gave great support on materials needed for the job. I had 2 deliveries both of steels and timber. The driver was incredibly helpful and ensured that each delivery was dropped in the correct location. He even helped drop the steels in a really awkward position. I can’t recommend this company enough. If you need any steels or timbers then these are the guys for you.
Been meaning to write a review for a while now deal with various other building material suppliers they do not touch the service I recieve from Southend steel & timber. Always recieve an impeccable service great prices and quick delivery’s. They are the go to place for hard to come by materials I normally deal with Amelia, her age does not match her knowledge and work ethic.
