Hot rolled steel sheet a1011 0 125 11 ga is made of low carbon steel that is commonly found in most industries as it is a high strength highly formable steel commonly used to create drums containers and in general fabrication. Our 12 gauge framing is 2 x 2 in diameter and has a higher tensile strength that provides higher snow load and wind load ratings. The larger the gauge number the thinner the metal. 12 gauge 106 steel is 2 86 times stronger than 14 gauge 075 even though it is only 031 thicker.

The 14 gauge steel is the industry standard of frame thickness and the most nationally accepted gauge for carport and metal structures.

The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material. Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge. Gauge differs between ferrous metals and nonferrous metals such as aluminum or copper. Gauge or gage sizes are numbers that indicate the thickness of a piece of sheet metal with a higher number referring to a thinner sheet.

A safe door made from 1 4 steel. The bending strength of steel increases by approximately the square of its thickness.
