Steel thickness is rated in different terms - schedule, gauge, etc. The lower the gauge, the thicker the steel. You won't find any thin, consumer grade steel in our stalls. All of our pipe steel, support channel and gussets are heavy duty, commercial grade steel - schedule 40 for the pipe and 9-12 gauge for the channel. And they're not tack-welded with just a few welds here and there. We fully weld all of our components.
