When it comes to structural steel that can withstand harsh weather, industrial environments, and demanding manufacturing applications, nothing compares to Magnelis® steel tubing from Imperial Steel. Made in the heart of Canada, this premium steel delivers unmatched durability, corrosion resistance, and reliability for projects that need to endure.

The Steel That Stands Up to the Toughest Climates

Whether you’re building fabric shelters, industrial equipment, agricultural structures, or outdoor infrastructure, Magnelis® steel tubing is engineered to perform. Its advanced zinc-aluminum-magnesium coating provides twice the corrosion resistance of standard galvanized steel, protecting both surfaces and cut edges – even in coastal, industrial, or high-moisture environments. Real-world testing across 1,000+ samples worldwide confirms its long-term performance, giving you confidence from fabrication to years of service.

Why Manufacturers and Engineers Rely on Magnelis®

From engineers specifying structural frameworks to fabricators and shelter manufacturers, Magnelis® steel tubing offers a unique combination of strength, formability, weldability, and paintability. Its stability in demanding conditions reduces maintenance needs and ensures your projects stay strong for years. For fabric shelters in particular, this tubing provides a durable backbone that keeps structures safe, reliable, and built to last.

Magnelis® steel tubing is designed for applications where durability and corrosion resistance are critical. Key uses include:

• Fabric shelters and portable buildings – serving as the structural backbone for outdoor shelters, garages, and storage buildings.
• Agricultural structures and equipment – barns, fencing, silos, and machinery frames exposed to moisture and soil.
• Industrial and commercial fabrication – racking systems, industrial enclosures, and structural components.
• Renewable energy and infrastructure – solar mounts, sign poles, and lighting systems requiring long-term outdoor performance.

What Makes Magnelis® Truly Different

Unlike standard hot-dip galvanized steel, Magnelis® is coated with a proprietary zinc-based alloy containing 3% magnesium and 3.5% aluminum. This creates a dense, self-healing protective layer that continues to guard steel even when it’s cut or welded. It’s the only metallic coating certified for use in C5 environments, making it ideal for North America’s toughest climates – from salty coastal air to freeze-thaw conditions inland.
