160 x 80 x 6.0 Rectangular Hollow Section S235
The 160 x 80 x 6.0 Rectangular Hollow Section S235 is a structural box section measuring 160 × 80 mm, stronger about its major axis while keeping the torsional stiffness of a closed section. Depth is put where bending demand is, so an RHS spans considerably better than a square section of the same weight while still refusing to twist.

At 18.4 kg per metre, one tonne buys roughly 54.3 linear metres. Weight-wise it sits in the everyday working band — the size most frequently specified where span and access have to be balanced against each other. Stock grade is S235 to BS EN 10210 / BS EN 10219; other grades are rolled to order. Certification is EN 10204 3.1 as standard, and fabricated items are CE marked under BS EN 1090 EXC 3.
Typically specified for sign and gantry structures, mezzanine edge beams, portal and goalpost frames, agricultural building framing and canopy and carport beams.
Where RHS members meet at a corner, mitred and welded joints are usually cleaner than a bolted cleat; send the frame geometry and we will set it out.
