Metal Bars

Metal Bars

Metal bars are a fundamental component across countless industries, valued for their strength, versatility and reliability. Commonly used in construction, manufacturing, machining and creative fabrication, they provide the structural support that tough projects require. Tractor Supply carries a wide range of materials and profiles in our stock of metal sheets, bars and rods, outfitting your project with the support it needs For Life Out Here.

Strong Materials for Structural and Repair Work

Metal bars are the backbone of any build that calls for lasting strength and reliable performance. To meet different project requirements, our selection includes a variety of sizes, materials and finishes. We offer durable steel options for structural strength, as well as lightweight and corrosion-resistant aluminum for versatile fabrication. Our metal bars are ready to support whatever the job calls for, including everything from heavy-duty construction to detailed custom work.

Flat Bars and Square Key Stock

Projects that call for added support or clean edges often start with a flat bar. These bars work well as braces, brackets and reinforcement strips across wood or metal frames. Different from metal angles, which form a fixed 90-degree bend for corner joints, flat bars sit flush against a surface for a low-profile hold. Key stock bars serve a different purpose. These precision-engineered metal bars, usually square or rectangular, are used in machinery to lock components, such as gears, pulleys and sprockets, onto rotating shafts. They prevent slippage and transmit torque by fitting snugly into a machined slot between the shaft and the component.

Varying Levels of Thickness

Gauge is a standard measurement of metal thickness, with a lower number indicating a thicker piece. A 12-gauge bar is one of the heaviest options and is well-suited for demanding jobs, including equipment mounts and structural bracing. At 16 gauge, there's enough thickness for moderate tasks around your shop or property without the extra weight of heavier stock. Bars at 19 gauge are thinner and better suited for lighter work, such as trim pieces and decorative framing. The right gauge keeps every build strong and dependable for peace of mind in operation.
