Merchant Bar

Structural steel fabricators and construction professionals use merchant bar steel in many kinds of structural applications that require superior strength and durability.

Most commonly used for the structural elements of floor and roof joists, walkways and railings, and are found in all aspects of construction. The typical merchant bar types used in steel fabrication are square, angled, round, and steel flat bar. 

Merchant bar steel sections are extremely robust and can be manipulated in a variety of different ways, including welding, bending, punching and forming.
