Racks of structural steel beams, tubing and angle in the Alabama Steel yard

Structural steel

Complete structural
steel solutions

For over a century our full-service steel yard has supplied the backbone of other people's projects — framing components, carbon plate and structural shapes, cut and fabricated in-house and shipped nationwide.

Essential components

The parts that make a building stand up

Every great building starts with reliable components. These are the members we roll, punch and stock day in and day out — sized and detailed for your span, spacing and load.

Roof purlins

Horizontal Z and C members that carry roof load from the panel into your main frames. Punched to your layout.

Rake angles

Fastened to purlin ends so endwall sheeting lands flat and trims out clean.

Sidewall & endwall girts

Horizontal girts that attach to columns and give wall panels solid, straight backing.

Eave struts

The member at the eave that supports roof panels and transmits wind load into the frame.

Base angles

Continuous angle anchored to the slab to lock the bottom of your wall panels in place.

Free takeoffs on component packages. We'll list every purlin, girt, strut and angle with lengths and counts.

Smart money on steel that's still prime

  • A full line of surplus structural items kept in stock, not special-ordered.
  • One of the largest used pipe yards in the Southeast — columns, posts, culverts and corral material.
  • Our team will tell you honestly when surplus fits your application and when it doesn't.

FAQ

Steel & ordering

Do you cut and fabricate, or just sell full lengths?+

Both. We shear, saw, punch and brake in-house, so material arrives cut to length and ready to set instead of needing a second shop.

Can you make custom trim and flashing?+

Yes — custom trim, flashing and specialty bends are formed on our own brakes and roll-formers, typically in 48 to 72 hours.

Can homeowners and small shops buy, or is it contractors only?+

Anyone can buy. Contractors, fabricators, farmers and homeowners all buy at the same counter with the same honest pricing.

What is surplus steel and is it any good?+

Surplus is prime-quality material that came off another job or overrun — same steel, better price. We also run one of the largest used pipe yards in the Southeast for structural columns, culverts and posts.

Do you stock trusses?+

Yes. Angle-iron trusses are the value standard and tube trusses are available when you want the heavier section. We'll quote both so you can compare.

Do you deliver?+

Yes — shop or job site, nationwide. Freight is quoted with your order so there are no surprise line items later.
