Description
Aluminium Rectangle Tube 100 x 50mm
Aluminium 100 x 50mm Rectangle Tube is a versatile rectangular hollow section suitable for gate manufacturing, structural framing, fencing, architectural fabrication and a wide range of residential and commercial projects.
The 100mm x 50mm rectangular profile provides greater depth in one direction than square tube, making it particularly useful for gate frames, posts, rails and fabricated structures where additional rigidity is required.
Select your required wall thickness, length and finish from the product options above.
📐 100 x 50mm Rectangular Profile
This section features a 100mm x 50mm external rectangular profile.
The deeper 100mm dimension provides increased section depth compared with smaller square profiles, making 100 x 50mm tube a useful choice for larger frames and applications requiring additional rigidity.
Different wall thicknesses are available to suit varying fabrication and strength requirements.
🚪 Excellent for Gate Fabrication
100 x 50mm aluminium rectangle tube is particularly well suited to the manufacture of sliding and swing gates.
Its rectangular profile makes it useful for components such as:
- Sliding gate frames
- Swing gate frames
- Gate bottom rails
- Gate top rails
- Gate side stiles
- Structural frame members
- Large pedestrian gates
- Automated driveway gates
The wide faces also provide convenient mounting surfaces for attaching slats, battens, cladding and gate hardware.
🔧 Versatile Fabrication Section
In addition to gate manufacturing, 100 x 50mm aluminium rectangle tube can be used for:
- Fence frames
- Privacy screens
- Architectural structures
- Equipment frames
- Signage structures
- Outdoor structures
- Commercial fabrication
- Custom aluminium projects
- General-purpose framing
The appropriate wall thickness should be selected according to the required strength and rigidity of the finished structure.
🪶 Lightweight Aluminium Construction
Aluminium provides an excellent combination of useful strength and relatively low weight.
Compared with an equivalent steel section, aluminium can substantially reduce the overall weight of a fabricated frame.
For automatic gates, reducing gate weight can also reduce the load placed on:
- Gate wheels
- Hinges
- Guide rollers
- Tracks
- Support structures
- Sliding gate operators
- Swing gate operators
🌦️ Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer that provides excellent resistance to corrosion in normal environmental conditions.
This makes aluminium rectangular tube particularly suitable for outdoor applications including gates, fencing, screens and architectural structures.
Unlike conventional mild steel, aluminium does not require galvanising simply to prevent rust.
🔥 Suitable for Welding & Fabrication
100 x 50mm aluminium rectangle tube can be cut, drilled, machined and welded using appropriate aluminium fabrication equipment and techniques.
Common fabrication methods include:
- MIG welding
- TIG welding
- Cutting
- Drilling
- Riveting
- Screwing
- Bolting
- Mechanical fastening
Its flat rectangular faces also make positioning and joining other sections straightforward during fabrication.
📏 Select Your Wall Thickness
Select the required wall thickness from the product options above.
Wall thickness affects the weight, rigidity and strength of the section.
Lighter wall thicknesses are useful where reducing overall weight is important, while heavier wall sections provide additional stiffness for more demanding fabrication applications.
The appropriate thickness should be selected according to the size, design and intended use of the finished structure.
📏 Select Your Length
Select the required aluminium length from the product options above.
Full aluminium extrusion lengths are commonly supplied in long commercial lengths, with shorter lengths available where listed.
Selecting the appropriate length can help reduce:
- Material waste
- Freight requirements
- Handling difficulty
- Storage requirements
- Unnecessary cutting
🎨 Select Your Finish
Finish options are available according to the selected product configuration.
These may include:
- Mill Finish
- Powder-Coated Finishes
Mill finish provides the natural appearance of extruded aluminium and is ideal for fabrication or projects that will be finished after manufacturing.
Powder-coated sections provide a durable decorative finish suitable for gates, fencing, screens and architectural applications.
🏠 Residential Applications
100 x 50mm aluminium rectangle tube is suitable for many residential fabrication projects, including:
- Driveway gates
- Sliding gates
- Swing gates
- Pedestrian gates
- Fence frames
- Privacy screens
- Outdoor structures
- Custom architectural features
🏭 Commercial Applications
The section is also suitable for appropriate commercial fabrication projects.
Typical applications can include:
- Commercial gates
- Large gate frames
- Security fencing
- Equipment frames
- Signage structures
- Architectural frames
- Screens
- General commercial fabrication
Section thickness and construction should always be selected according to the loads and structural requirements of the application.

⚠️ Please Note
Wall thickness, length and finish are supplied according to the options selected above.
Product weight will vary depending on the selected wall thickness and length.
Mill-finish aluminium can have minor surface marks associated with extrusion, handling, storage and transport.
For gate fabrication, the appropriate wall thickness should be selected according to the gate dimensions, overall weight, infill material, wind loading and hardware arrangement.
Suitability for structural or load-bearing applications should be determined according to the specific design and engineering requirements of the project.
Cut aluminium may have sharp edges and should be handled appropriately.
Long aluminium sections may require specialised freight. Available shipping methods and charges can therefore vary according to the selected length and delivery location.
