Steel Tubing In The Oil Fields

Steel tubing finds many uses in oil fields in Texas and other locations. It is known as a universal oilfield component. It is used and reused in downhole and many applications in the oilfields.



Steel tubing for Fences

The next most common use for steel tubing is in the fencing industry. Fences, H-braces, fence posts, cattle pens, horse pens, deer stands, and gates can be made with steel tubing, steel pipes, sucker rods, or a combination. Fence posts can be ordered already cut to the desired length. Long stretches of fencing needed on farms and ranches made with steel tubing will last longer than fences made of wood or some other materials. Steel tubing is easy to weld and structurally sound.

Building With Steel Tubing

Pole barns, sheds, carports, greenhouses, and other structures can be built using steel tubing. Steel tubing can provide a strong skeleton, holding everything else together. The strong steel frame is covered with roofing and sheathing to form a strong, attractive building. Metal structures can be used for many things including shelter for cattle and smaller farm animals, hay storage, equipment storage, garden supplies, and even office space. Steel tubing can also be used in metal sculptures of all sizes by artists and hobbyists. It can be bent, welded, and cut into an infinite variety of sizes and shapes to form the image the artist envisions. The finished sculpture can be painted, left natural, or polished.
