    Q:Can I use this to make a picket gate, drilling holes and using nuts and bolts to keep it together?

    Answer This Question

    A:  If you are planning to use this flat stock for gate slats it would make for a very heavy and expensive gate. If wood is not secure enough, I'd suggest using chain-link fence material for the gate.

    by|Aug 28, 2022

      A:  Yes, this Everbilt 3/4 in. x 48 in. x 1/8 in. T Plain Steel Flat Bar can be drilled through with the appropriate bit. But if you want this product for outdoor use, please be advised it is a plain steel item with no coating on it and will eventually rust in the elements. It could be treated it with a rust preventative paint or some other rust preventative coating to avoid oxidation.

        The end 2-3/16 inches of the 36 inch flatbar had irregular surface depressions as if the steel didn't cool correctly. It was on both sides of the bar but on the opposite end from the label and I didn't see it until after I submitted my original review. Rest of the bar was ok. I will probably use this portion but in a low stress area. I ordered it online so did not have a hand in choosing this particular bar. Hopefully this was just a one-off.

          Steel flat stock has a million uses. I always try to keep various sizes on hand to deal with what ever happens. This is a picture of my use of this flat stock. The radiator shroud on my truck came loose and sagged down into the fan. The fan then ate the entire top of the shroud. Instead of buying a very pricey new shroud I formed this flat bar into the correct curve and bolted it to the remaining part of the shroud. You can see the flat sticking out of the ends. Since this material was pretty narrow I used it to support wider galvanized sheet steel. You would not have been able to use just the galvanized material since it would not have been strong enough by itself.

          It was shipped in a heavy-duty cardboard tube and arrived in perfect condition. The advertised measurements were spot-on. Overall length is 72 ins., it's 1/8 ins. thick and 1-1/4 ins. wide. I didn't order this with any particular purpose in mind but I like to keep assorted pieces of aluminum and steel around the shop. I hate being in the middle of a project and realize I have to stop and run to the store. I couldn't find a written warranty but as with most products Home Depot sells there is a 90 return policy.

          I used this bar stock to improve a mobile base for my drill press. I hacksawed the bar into four pieces and drilled holes into the pieces to mount a wooden cam to raise of lower the mobile base. I chose the 3" stock to spread the load on the 2x4's used to build the base.

          I haven’t used the bottom drawer of a file cabinet in the intended way for years, due to one of the hanging file bar being missing. Cut to fit, this does the job beautifully.

                by
                  I never thought I'd see the day when I paid $30 for a piece of steel that I used to toss in the scrap bin back in my welding days. I needed it and paid the price.
