Product questions

Yes, we offer a cutting service for tubes. We can cut from a length of 5cm. We don’t charge for our cutting service on orders below 100 cuts,  but to avoid abuse we reserve the right to charge .26 p per cut. You can select a stock length and then select the cuts that need to made.

What is the maximum length of tube I can order?
We offer stock lengths of up to 640 cm. However shipping for these length is a lot more costly than for length of less than 300 cm.  We recommend limiting the length of the tubes.

How do I calculate the right tube length?

De right length depends on the diameter, or size, of the tube and key clamps used. On this page we compiled and article on how to calculated the right tube size in a number of different situations.

Als visit our blog page. Here you will find a number of articles ranging from DIY guides to diagram explaining how to best build certain constructions.

The galvanised steel tubes are suitable for outdoor use because of the galvanisation finish which protects against the elements and rust to a certain extend.

Yes, the key clamps come including the set screws as standard. the set screw can be adjusted using an Allen key.

Is it possible to order extra set screws?
Yes, please order them through the webshop or contact us.

The set screw in the key clamp can be secured using an Allen key.

Please make sure to us the right size Allen key. Using the wrong size can damage the threads or the screw itself. Please note that key clamps use both metric and Imperial sizes.

The suitable tube diameter depends on the design, the length of spans, and the amount of weight the design needs to carry. For furniture: tables are usually made from 42.4mm. Coat racks and wardrobes are usually made frokm 33.7 or 26.9mm. For bigger projects like pergola's, pallet racks, and industrial hand rails 42.4 and 48.3mm is often used.

The mentioned tube diameters are the outer diameters of the tubes.

A 26.9mm tube has a 26.9mm outer diameter.

Want to get to the inner diameter? Take the outer diameter and subtract 2 times the wall thickness.

With all sizes a certain tolerance exists. Actual sizes may differ.

The mentioned size refers to the tube size. always choose the same size for both the tube size and the key clamps.

Tube size 26.9mm goes together with key clamp size 26.9mm. Tube size 33.7mm goes together with key clamp size 33.7mm.
Et cetera...

The size of the key clamps thus references the size tube that it can be used with.

On the respective product page most information on the key clamp will be listed. Technical drawing are only available for a limited number of key clamps. Please contact our customer service for questions on specific dimensions.

The markings on the tubes can be easily removed by using thinner or a similar agent. Please take all the necessary safety precautions needed when working which such products.

The marking originated from the production process and show product identification numbers, batch numbers etc.
These markings are necessary to identify the products and its standards.

The wall thickness of a tube is listed on its product page.
