Telescoping Weld-Together Rails
Create posts of varying lengths. To telescope rails, slide one length of rail into the next larger size rail (for example, a 1 3/4" height rail fits into a 2" height rail and a 3/4" dia. rail fits into a 1" dia. rail). Weld the rails together at the desired length to create strong structures. These rails are not compatible with weld-together framing and fittings.
Carbon steel rails are lightly oiled.
Galvanized carbon steel rails have good corrosion resistance in wet environments and can be used outdoors.
Aluminum rails are about half the weight of steel and resist corrosion in wet environments.
304 stainless steel rails are more corrosion resistant than galvanized carbon steel. They also have good chemical resistance.

Weld-Together Framing and Fittings
Create strong structures by welding this framing together. Add metal panels to close off openings. Slide the rail into the fitting and weld in place.
