A 1-1/4" wide x 72" long flat bar of 12-gauge (approximately 0.105" thick) solid steel with a zinc-plated finish for indoor or outdoor use. Drill, cut, weld, or bend to fit - the right stock for shelf brackets, hangers, repair straps, swing-set reinforcement, fence and gate hardware, antenna and tool mounts, and custom shop fabrication.

• Width: 1-1/4"
• Length: 72"
• Thickness: 12 gauge (approximately 0.105")
• Material: Solid cold-rolled steel
• Finish: Zinc plated for corrosion resistance
• Approximate weight: 2.77 lbs
• Cuts with a hacksaw, drills with HSS twist bits, and bends in a vise with leverage
• Sold as a single bar

Width context: 1-1/4" is the widest in this series - used for heavy-duty repair straps, structural bracket fabrication, equipment mount plates, swing-set joint reinforcement, ramp edge stiffeners, and load-bearing brackets on workbenches.

Length context: 72" length is the long-stock option for full-span repairs, long bracket runs, custom railing, hanging-stock-rack uprights, and shop fixture rail - cuts cleanly into three 24" pieces or two 36" pieces with negligible waste.

Working tip: When drilling, center-punch first to prevent walk, run a moderate-speed HSS bit with a drop of cutting oil, and step up through pilot sizes for any hole over 1/4". The zinc plating will be removed at the drilled face - touch up bare edges with cold-galvanized spray paint to maintain corrosion resistance after fabrication.
