Galvanised tubes and clamps are some of the most versatile products on the market. In fact, one of our customers recently referred to it as being "Meccano for adults"!

They can be used in a huge variety of ways in a business setting and even more-so when it comes to some amazing DIY uses at home. We regularly see some incredibly creative uses for our low cost galvanised tubes and clamps with our customers creating some brilliant items in the bedroom, office, kitchen, workshop, home gym, and generally anywhere around the house.

At The Metal Store, we're strong believers that when it comes to creating innovative products, the only real limitation is your imagination. That's why we thoght it would be great to show you some of the outstanding products our customers have created.
