Three sizes of Metal Lumber are available. The smallest size is a 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" angle in 14 gauge. The second size is 1-1/2" x 2-1/4" angle in 14 gauge. The largest is the 1-1/2" x 3" angle in 12 gauge. All three sizes are available in 10 feet and 12 feet lengths.
All angles are punched with round end slots on 3/4" centers the full length of the angle. The 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" angle has one row of slots in each leg located 9/16" from the edge. The rows of slots alternate a longitudinal slot then a transverse slot. The longitudinal slots are 11/32" x 1/2" and the transverse slots are 11/32" x 7/16". The 1-1/2" x 2-1/4" angle has one row of slots in the shore leg and two rows in the long leg. The two rows in the long leg are 3/4" apart.
