200 x 200 x 8.0 Square Hollow Section S355
The 200 x 200 x 8.0 Square Hollow Section S355 is a square hollow section measuring 200 × 200 mm — a closed box profile with four flat faces, giving tube performance with straightforward flat-to-flat connections. The closed box is far stiffer in torsion than any open profile of similar weight, so an SHS post carrying an offset load twists very little.

At 48 kg per metre, one tonne buys roughly 20.8 linear metres. Sections this heavy are usually part of a primary load path, so mill certification and dimensional tolerance matter as much as the section size itself. Standard supply is S355 to BS EN 10210 / BS EN 10219, with fabrication carried out here before dispatch. Every order carries EN 10204 3.1 mill certification and is CE marked under BS EN 1090 EXC 3.
Typically specified for architectural and exposed columns, mezzanine and platform posts, portal and goalpost frames, gate and railing frames and balustrade newel posts.
Mitre cuts for frames are set out here from your overall frame dimensions rather than piece lengths.
