📐 50 x 50mm Square Profile
This section features a 50mm x 50mm external square profile.
Different wall thicknesses are available to allow the section to be selected according to the weight, strength and fabrication requirements of the project.
Thinner wall sections provide a lightweight solution for general fabrication, while heavier wall options provide additional rigidity for more demanding applications.
🔧 Ideal for General Fabrication
50 x 50mm aluminium square tube is suitable for a broad range of fabrication applications, including:
- Sliding gate frames
- Swing gate frames
- Fence panels
- Privacy screens
- Aluminium structures
- Architectural fabrication
- Signage frames
- Furniture
- Display structures
- General-purpose framing
- Residential projects
- Commercial projects
🚪 Excellent for Gate Fabrication
The 50 x 50mm profile is particularly useful for manufacturing aluminium gates.
Its square shape provides convenient flat surfaces for welding and attaching other components such as:
- Aluminium slats
- Battens
- Vertical infills
- Sheet cladding
- Hinges
- Gate wheels
- Guide components
- Brackets
- Automation hardware
Aluminium construction also helps keep the overall weight of the gate lower than an equivalent steel structure.
This can be particularly beneficial when manufacturing automatic sliding or swing gates where gate weight affects the load placed on the gate operator and associated hardware.
🌦️ Corrosion Resistant
Aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer that provides excellent resistance to corrosion in normal environmental conditions.
This makes aluminium square tube particularly well suited to outdoor applications such as:
- Gates
- Fencing
- Screens
- Outdoor structures
- Architectural features
- General exterior fabrication
Unlike conventional mild steel, aluminium does not require galvanising simply to prevent rust.
🪶 Lightweight & Easy to Handle
One of the major advantages of aluminium is its combination of useful strength and relatively low weight.
Compared with equivalent steel sections, aluminium square tube can make fabrication, handling and installation considerably easier.
Its lower weight can provide benefits including:
- Easier transportation
- Easier handling
- Reduced finished gate weight
- Easier installation
- Reduced load on gate hardware
- Reduced load on automatic gate operators
🔥 Suitable for Welding & Fabrication
Aluminium square tube can be cut, drilled, machined and welded using appropriate aluminium fabrication equipment and techniques.
Common fabrication methods include:
- MIG welding
- TIG welding
- Drilling
- Cutting
- Riveting
- Screwing
- Mechanical fastening
- Aluminium brackets and connectors
The appropriate fabrication method should be selected according to the intended application and required strength.
📏 Select Your Wall Thickness
Select the required wall thickness from the product options above.
Wall thickness affects the overall weight, rigidity and strength of the section.
A lighter wall section may be suitable for general framing and lightweight fabrication, while heavier wall sections may be preferred where additional stiffness or strength is required.
Always select the appropriate section according to the intended application.
📏 Select Your Length
Select your required length from the product options above.
Full aluminium extrusion lengths are commonly supplied at 6.5 metres, with shorter lengths available where listed.
Selecting a shorter length can provide advantages for:
- Smaller projects
- Easier transportation
- Reduced material waste
- Easier storage
- Courier and freight requirements
🎨 Select Your Finish
Different finish options may be available depending on the selected product configuration.
Options can include:
- Mill Finish
- Powder-Coated Finishes
Mill finish provides the natural appearance of extruded aluminium and is ideal for general fabrication or projects that will receive further finishing after fabrication.
Powder-coated sections provide a durable decorative finish suitable for gates, fencing, screens and architectural applications.
🏠 Residential Applications
50 x 50mm aluminium square tube is suitable for a wide range of residential fabrication projects.
Typical uses include:
- Driveway gates
- Pedestrian gates
- Fence frames
- Privacy screens
- Garden structures
- Outdoor frames
- Decorative features
- Custom fabrication
🏭 Commercial Applications
The section can also be used in suitable commercial fabrication projects.
Applications can include:
- Commercial gates
- Fence panels
- Screens
- Signage structures
- Shopfitting
- Display frames
- Equipment frames
- Architectural features
- General fabrication
Section thickness should always be selected according to the loading 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 extrusions can have minor surface marks associated with the extrusion process, handling, storage and transport.
Suitability for structural or load-bearing applications should be determined according to the specific design and engineering requirements of the project.
Cut aluminium can have sharp edges and should be handled appropriately.
Due to the length of aluminium extrusion, available freight methods and delivery charges may vary depending on the selected length and delivery location.
