Why Choose a Steel Hexagonal Bar?
They are widely used in manufacturing, engineering, and fabrication projects where secure fitting, anti-rotation properties, and uniform geometry are required.
Hex tubing steel is particularly useful in applications such as drive shafts, tooling, and custom components where the shape plays a key role in performance.
Shape-Driven Performance
Enhanced Grip and Fit: The flat sides of steel hexagonal bars provide a secure hold and precise alignment, making them easier to handle, machine, and fit into assemblies where accuracy is critical.
Torsional Strength: The unique geometry helps resist twisting and deformation under load, making hex tubing steel a reliable choice for torque-bearing components.
Versatile Fabrication: Suitable for drilling, tapping, machining, and welding, hexagonal tubes can be adapted to meet a wide variety of design and engineering requirements.
Aesthetic Appeal: The distinctive six-sided profile adds a clean, geometric look, making it equally useful in architectural, decorative, or design-led applications.

How is steel hexagonal tubing manufactured?
What standards do your hexagonal bars meet?
Our bars comply with relevant EN, ASTM, or BS standards, and mill test certificates (MTC) can be provided for verification of chemical composition and mechanical properties.
What’s the difference between hexagonal bars and round bars?
Hexagonal bars offer flat sides for grip and torque resistance, making them better suited for fittings and assemblies where anti-rotation is important. Round bars distribute stress evenly and are often preferred for pressurised or rotational applications.

Excellent. Highly recommend. Got about 10 different quotes after sending the entire building plan from architects and engineer that looked confusing to us and they got back very fast with a proper quote and Southend Steels were the best price by a significant amount. Highly professional, great communication, and no messing about. Keeley was great, very friendly and fast in getting things done. Even just comparing the quote process, all the others took long to get back and sent unprofessional looking quotes that were much dearer and some of them in broken English. With these, and dealing with Keeley, the communication was excellent and you don't feel like you're being robbed. Delivery was bang on time and easy. Can't fault them at all. Highly recommend.
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.
Good experience overall. Stan & Rusell went well beyond delivering the steel late into the evening.. Southend Steel was the best priced that we found. Would definitely use again.

Great service from Southend steels. The communication post manufacturing of the beams was spot on, especially with some tricky connections and chimney support plates welded to the beams.

Great company to do business with. Friendly guys and always get the job done. We use them for all of our steels. Recommend.
I don’t usually leave reviews but thought Adam and the team was well worth recommending, over the years they have helped us with various projects from making equipment for our BBQ, building a smoker from scratch, fabricating a shelter to general steel beams. All of which has always been done to our exacting standards… pricing has always been great, deliveries always on time. There always happy to help answer any questions and give advice on products purchased Thanks again for another great deal and I’ll be in touch soon for the next project Cheers barman 👍🏻

Couldn’t have been happier with the service. Friendly, helpful, quick and delivered e Carly in time!! Couldn’t ask for more. Thanks Rich and Ash. Cheers, Chris.
I spoke with Richard at The Small Metal Company, regarding a stainless Steel plate to protect the wooden surface around our kitchen tap. I supplied dimension drawings and was extremely happy with finished product. Also many thanks to Curtis who made this item. I would recommend The Small Metal Company for any of your small or larger metal fabrication requirements.
Really helpful and friendly, free local delivery which is great. Will be using again
They promptly fabricated a custom bracket at a great price. I would definitely recommend.
Small order metal company supplied all the steel for a recent extension at our home, never bought steel before so was a bit unsure of where to buy from, a friend recommended Small order metal company and the service (and price! ) was excellent - if you need steel don't shop around, just use these guys.
