Rectangular hollow sections are used across building, fabrication and structural steel projects where a strong rectangular steel profile is required. At South Steel, we supply rectangular hollow sections online for homeowners, self-builders, contractors and trade buyers who need a clear way to order structural steel.
Also known as steel rectangular hollow sections, rectangular box sections or RHS, these products are commonly used for frames, supports, posts, bracing, gates, railings, platforms and general construction. Their rectangular profile makes RHS useful where a project needs greater width, depth or fixing space than a square hollow section.
Rectangular Hollow Sections for Steel Projects
Rectangular hollow sections are suitable for steel frames, support structures, workshop projects, garden structures, balustrades, platforms and fabrication work. They are often chosen where a neat, strong and enclosed steel section is needed for construction or manufacturing use.
South Steel allows customers to browse available RHS products online, choose the required size and order through the website. If you are working from drawings, a cutting list or a project specification, the team can provide practical support before you order.
For load-bearing steel, customers should always follow their structural engineer’s specification, drawings or calculations. South Steel can supply the steel, but the correct RHS size, section and specification should be confirmed before ordering.

South Steel supplies rectangular hollow sections as part of a wider structural steel range, helping customers source steel for building, repair, fabrication and construction work.

FAQs
What Are Rectangular Hollow Sections Used For?
Rectangular hollow sections are commonly used for steel frames, support posts, bracing, fabrication work, gates, railings, platforms, garden structures and general construction projects. They are useful where the rectangular profile gives better width, depth or fixing space than a square section.
Are Rectangular Hollow Sections the Same as Rectangular Box Sections?
Yes. Many customers use the terms rectangular hollow sections, rectangular box sections and RHS to describe the same type of hollow steel section with a rectangular profile. The wording may vary depending on the supplier, drawing, cutting list or project specification.
Can I Order Steel Rectangular Hollow Sections Online?
Yes. South Steel supplies steel rectangular hollow sections online, allowing customers to browse available sizes and place an order through the website. This gives homeowners, self-builders, contractors and trade buyers a straightforward route to source RHS.
How Do I Know Which RHS Size I Need?
The correct RHS size depends on the project and how the steel will be used. For general fabrication, you may already have the size from a cutting list, previous order or product requirement. For structural or load-bearing work, the size should come from your structural engineer’s calculations, drawings or steel schedule before ordering.
Can South Steel Help With RHS Orders?
Yes. If you are working from drawings, a steel schedule, cutting list or project specification, South Steel can help with product details and quote support. You can contact South Steel before ordering if you need help matching your project information to the right product.
