A 3/4" wide x 48" 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: 3/4"
• Length: 48"
• Thickness: 12 gauge (approximately 0.105")
• Material: Solid cold-rolled steel
• Finish: Zinc plated for corrosion resistance
• Approximate weight: 1.11 lbs
• Cuts with a hacksaw, drills with HSS twist bits, and bends in a vise with leverage
• Sold as a single bar

Width context: 3/4" is the standard width for shelf brackets, light gate stops, mailbox post stiffeners, repair straps over split joists, and small custom fab work where stiffness matters more than heavy load-bearing.

Length context: 48" length is the workhorse stock size - long enough for full shelf runs, gate cross-braces, mid-span repair straps, or two 24" cuts for paired brackets.

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.
