This is 2”x2”, 16 gauge, galvanized steel. Sometimes if we are designing for an engineered structure some of the studs will be 12, 13, or 14 gauge, but this is rarely the case.
Thanks for the question. Square tubing doesn't seem to create any additional wear on netting, or plastic covering, in our experience. This could have to do with the fact that Spring Wire Channel is usually attached to the front face of the square tubing to help receive whatever material is being used to cover the structure. Since Spring Wire Channel and Wire allow for materials to be installed and removed with minimal wear, it might make sense for you to consider using this type of hardware in your construction project.

What thickness of steel tubing is being used?
This is 2”x2”, 16 gauge, galvanized steel. Sometimes if we are designing for an engineered structure some of the studs will be 12, 13, or 14 gauge, but this is rarely the case.
Wouldnt using a ground post driver cap not eliminate the need to cut off the "mushroom"?
Yes it would. A driver cap costs around $15 though… and I have a Sawz All :)
@@tunnelvisionhoops use whatcha got. Lol
Lol, exactly@@pennyrichards8019
where do you buy square alum 2" square tubing
We sell 2” square steel tubing, but not square aluminum. Not sure where you would purchase square aluminum stock metal.
Will square tubing not wear the netting more easily than round ones ?
