Product FAQs

What materials are used to make the VersaTube framing system? Is it strong and durable? Rust resistant?

The majority of frame components are made of 2" x 3" in-line galvanized steel tubing. All bent components are made with 14-gauge tubing, while the straight components use high-strength 15-gauge tubing. Components that utilize 2" x 2" square material are made with 15-gauge tubing.

The proof is in the frame. Most steel frames require components to be bent-to-fit - compromising strength. Through our "swaging" and smooth mandrel bending processes, we effectively shape and bend heavy-gauge, rectangular steel tubing without sacrificing an ounce of strength or performance.

The premium in-line galvanized steel tubing achieves a salt spray test of 840 hours due to the presence of a final lacquer or polymer coating applied over the protective zinc. By comparison, normal G-90 galvanized steel has a salt spray performance of approximately 400 hours. This equates to significant rust protection for the framing of the structure.
