Steel, 2.5" x 2.5" 11ga

The Steel, 2.5" x 2.5" 11ga is 2.5-inch by 2.5-inch square steel tubing in 11-gauge wall thickness, available at Skipper B Trailers in Westwego, Louisiana. This is heavy-duty structural square tubing — the 2.5-inch profile and thick 11-gauge wall make this the kind of steel used for trailer frame rails, tongue construction, crossmembers, and major structural components where strength and rigidity are non-negotiable. The 11-gauge wall is significantly thicker than the 18-gauge tubing used for light-duty brackets and accessories — this is the steel that carries the load on a trailer frame, handles the stress of towing on Interstate 10, Highway 90, the Westbank Expressway, and absorbs the impacts from the potholed parish roads between Westwego, Marrero, Harvey, and Gretna.

Louisiana trailer builders, marine repair shops, and fabricators who build or repair trailer frames need structural tubing that meets the load requirements of the application. The 2.5x2.5-inch profile at 11-gauge is a common size for trailer tongue construction, frame rail extensions, crossmember replacements, and structural reinforcement on medium-duty trailers. When a trailer frame member is cracked, bent, or corroded through from years of saltwater exposure at Bayou Segnette State Park and the launches across Jefferson Parish and Greater New Orleans, the replacement section needs to match or exceed the original wall thickness and profile — underbuilding a structural repair creates a failure point that can let go under load. The 11-gauge wall on this tubing provides the strength for structural applications, and the 2.5-inch profile matches the frame dimensions found on many mid-size boat trailers and utility trailers in the Southeast Louisiana market. Whether you're a marine repair shop replacing a corroded tongue section on a customer's boat trailer, a fabricator building a custom trailer frame, Fishing Fanatic Frank reinforcing the tongue on his trailer after a heavy-load incident, or a DIY builder constructing a frame from raw materials, this 11-gauge structural tubing provides the foundation.

At $6.47 per foot, this heavy-duty square tubing is sold by the foot — buy the exact length you need for the job. The 2.5x2.5-inch profile and 11-gauge wall handle structural trailer applications where strength is critical. Perfect for frame repairs, tongue construction, crossmember replacement, structural reinforcement, and custom trailer builds throughout Southeast Louisiana.
