Metal Bar VidaXL 100 x 0.5 x 15 cm, black, sturdy metal construction

VidaXL metal bar 100 x 0.5 x 15 cm in black is a long, narrow steel element designed for structural and workshop use. The product features a simple rectangular profile and a black finish that helps protect the surface. It is intended for applications that require a straight, rigid metal piece which can be cut, drilled or welded to meet project requirements.

Advantages

This metal bar offers a combination of length and thin thickness that makes it suitable for reinforcement, edging and custom fabrications. The black surface treatment provides basic protection against minor corrosion and improves visual integration in industrial or workshop environments. Its straightforward geometry simplifies handling, alignment and attachment during installation.

Suitable for

• Reinforcing wooden or metal frames
• Shelving supports and brackets
• DIY and metalworking projects where a long narrow bar is needed
• Creating rails, edging or trim elements

When it may not be suitable

The item is a thin metal strip and is not intended to carry very heavy loads or serve as a primary structural beam in safety-critical constructions. For outdoor use in highly corrosive environments or where long-term weather exposure is expected, additional surface protection or a different material grade may be required.

Key specifications

• Material: metal (steel)
• Finish: black coated surface
• Dimensions: 100 cm length x 0.5 cm thickness x 15 cm width
• Shape: flat rectangular bar

How to use

Measure and mark the required length and position for attachment. The bar can be cut with an appropriate metal cutting tool, drilled with a metal drill bit, and welded if needed. Fasten using screws, bolts, clamps or welding according to the demands of the project and the base materials. Ensure edges are deburred after cutting and use appropriate personal protective equipment when machining or welding.

What to consider before purchase

• Required load-bearing capacity and whether a thicker or wider profile is necessary
• Intended environment (indoor, outdoor, humid or corrosive) and need for additional corrosion protection
• Compatibility with cutting, drilling or welding methods you plan to use
• Required finishing or painting to match the rest of the construction

Usage recommendations

For cutting, use a suitable metal saw or angle grinder with a cutting disc and secure the bar firmly. When drilling, use sharp metal drill bits and apply cutting oil for cleaner holes. If welding, confirm the steel type and apply appropriate welding settings. Store indoors or in a dry place to minimise surface corrosion.
