Don’t know your RHS from your elbow? Let Midalia give you the tip, mmMate!

Advances in materials, tools and know-how mean that construction in steel is no longer the preserve of the tradesman. With the right tools and materials, some spare time and perhaps most importantly a little bit of imagination, it’s possible for the average DIYer to design and build good-looking, yet practical, steel structures such as sheds, carports and patios as well as erect great-looking Colorbond steel fences.

Whatever you’re building, Midalia Steel is your partner in DIY. We stock all the steel you’ll ever need to undertake your DIY project from start to finish and can even organise delivery to your door! Our friendly sales staff are extremely knowledgeable about building in steel, however there is no substitute for experienced advice on a specific project.

With this in mind we’ve come up with a manual designed to give you some information about the basics of building with steel. We hope that it's useful, but remember, if in doubt get the expert advice of a tradesman, and always ensure that you've got the relevant local council approvals for any work you undertake.
