Create posts of varying lengths. To telescope rails, slide one length of rail into the next larger size rail (for example, a 1 3/4" height rail fits into a 2" height rail and a 3/4" dia. rail fits into a 1" dia. rail). Weld the rails together at the desired length to create strong structures. These rails are not compatible with weld-together framing and fittings.

Carbon steel rails are lightly oiled.

Galvanized carbon steel rails have good corrosion resistance in wet environments and can be used outdoors.
