Equal angle: sizes and weight
Angle chart from 25×25×4 to 100×100×10: weight per metre, metres per tonne. Equal versus unequal angle and where each is used.
An angle is marked with three numbers: width of the first leg × width of the second × thickness. On an equal angle the first two match — 50×50×5.

| 50×50×5 | 3.77 | 265 | The most common size |
| 63×63×6 | 5.72 | 175 | Load-bearing elements |

| 100×100×10 | 15.10 | 66 | Heavy frames, columns |
Equal or unequal angle
An equal angle (50×50) behaves the same in both planes — the universal choice for frames and trusses. An unequal angle (75×50) is stronger in one direction and goes where the load comes mostly from one side, under lintels for instance.
In small-scale construction the 40–63 mm equal angle range covers 90% of what is needed.
How much spare to order
Mitre cuts at 45° on frame joints leave offcuts. For a structure with many corner joints, allow 5–7% spare. If our yard cuts to your sizes, the offcuts stay with us and you pay only for usable length.
Standard angle lengths are 6 or 11.7 metres. Longer bars mean fewer joints in the structure — and a vehicle to match.
