See How Telespar Was Used To Make A Hunting Stand
Unlike Telespar telescoping tubing, which is specially designed and used for sign post applications, Telespar mechanical tubing can be used for industrial applications and a wide variety of weekend DIY projects. Below is a case study of how one of our customers took a simple wooden hunting stand design and recreated it by using Telespar mechanical tubing and Grip Strut Grating.
A One-of-a-Kind Hunting Stand

DIY Unistrut Racks For A Perfect Storage Solution
We recently moved our Rooftop Support Systems (RTS) assembly and welding stations to the back corner of our new warehouse and because of this move, we needed a shelving system that could hold all of our Unistrut inventory and components that we use to build our rooftop systems. Our RTS assembler took some measurements and began sketching out a design for a set of Unistrut racks that were 8 feet tall and 10 feet wide. He then gathered all the necessary Unistrut channel, fittings and hardware and assembled three Unistrut racks. Below are the materials used along with the final design of the

As part of an ongoing effort to optimize product offerings and streamline the Unistrut Metal Framing product line, Unistrut has chosen to discontinue a number of products that are no longer in demand for most typical applications. This allows the company to maintain a sharp focus on production of the products that customers truly need, as well as shift some of their attention to the innovation of new products.
Unistrut part number "AEROSPRAY GR" is green touch-up paint used on cosmetic scratches to Perma-Green finish parts and channel. Unfortunately, due to difficulties in sourcing and transporting the aerosol spray-paint, as well as concerns about the limited shelf-life of the product, it became necessary to discontinue selling it. The good news is that a suitable replacement can be obtained from most local hardware stores.

Food Grade Strut for Prevention of Food Contamination
Food Grade Strut was developed after food processing plants and commercial kitchens demanded a better, more sanitary, easier to clean solution to mount pipe and conduit on. Traditional methods for mounting included inferior materials and/or design, which led to increased instances of food contamination, fines and even shut downs, after failed inspections.
There are an infinite number of ways to mount pipes to walls or suspend them from ceilings, but to do it the right way requires a product that has been engineered specifically for the food service industry and clean room applications: Food Grade Strut.
Food Grade Strut is manufactured from
