This construction material, available at a major home improvement retailer, combines the structural support of a right-angled iron beam with a pattern of holes along its surface. These perforations facilitate easier cutting, bending, and joining of the material using bolts, screws, or welds. Applications range from framing for shelving units and furniture to creating custom supports for various projects.
Its significance lies in its versatility and ease of use compared to solid angle iron. The perforations reduce weight without significantly compromising strength in many applications. The availability of this product through a large retail chain ensures accessibility to both professional contractors and do-it-yourself enthusiasts. Historically, angle iron was primarily a structural component for large-scale construction. This modified version expands its application to smaller, more accessible projects.
