Tube sizes, tube wall & wire gauge

Compare the dimensions that actually describe each panel family.

Keep tube and wire sizes separate

Choose your product

For tubular panels, list tube outside diameter separately from wall gauge or thickness. A 1.5-inch tube and a 2-inch tube describe outside sizes, not the steel wall.

We can supply many other sizes. If you don’t see what you need, ask our team.

Size and construction

For welded-wire panels, wire gauge describes wire construction. Some products use different gauges for horizontal and vertical wires; other products publish a numeric wire diameter.

Put the order together

Useful market examples include medium-duty 1.5-inch × 16-gauge tube and welded-panel ¼-inch wire. Those are different product measurements, not equivalent gauge systems.
