What is Swaging and How Does it Work?
Through the use of our patented machines, VersaTube is able to shape both rectangular and square, heavy-gauge steel tubing in such a way as to significantly reduce cost and assembly time. Swaging is far more than just a molding, bending or shaping process. It’s our way of putting hours worth of energy into our steel tubing components so that you don’t have to.
VersaTube’s unique “Slip-Fit” connections simplify the construction process dramatically. Through the use of “swaging” and our patented assembly technique, one steel frame component can easily slip into another, i.e. a rafter section into a peak or a sidepost. The slip-fit joints are then secured with self-tapping screws through four layers of American sourced steel.
VersaTube takes the inherent potential of every component and gives it the power to work. By the time you lift a hammer, you’ll discover that half the job is already done. At that point, a seemingly random component becomes a loafing shed, an RV or boat shelter, or a fully enclosed building. The steel tube is now a breeze way cover, a garage or a horse barn. Each as strong and as durable as the single component itself - That’s swaging.
