250 x 150 x 8.0 Rectangular Hollow Section S355
The 250 x 150 x 8.0 Rectangular Hollow Section S355 is a rectangular hollow section measuring 250 × 150 mm — a closed box that is deliberately deeper than it is wide, so it spans like a beam but still resists twist like a tube. Orientation matters: laid flat, the same section is far weaker in bending, so the drawing should make clear which dimension is vertical.

At 48 kg per metre, one tonne buys roughly 20.8 linear metres. At this weight, lifting is a planned operation — allow for crane capacity, slinging points and safe laydown before the delivery arrives. 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 portal and goalpost frames, agricultural building framing, canopy and carport beams, exposed architectural framing and balustrade top rails.
Confirm the vertical dimension when ordering — we can mark the top face so the frame cannot be assembled the wrong way round.
