Why Newcastle Chooses Metal Mates for Steel Products
Newcastle has a strong local supply chain for steel products, and Metal Mates combines a broad range with genuine trade know-how built up since 1997. We don't just sell steel products, we help Newcastle customers pick the right bar, plate or sheet for the job, whether that's a construction site, a mining application or a one-off home project.
When you're choosing a Newcastle steel supplier, this is what Metal Mates brings to the table:

Our Steel Products Range
Steel products in Newcastle get used across construction, manufacturing, mining, transport and agriculture, and Metal Mates carries the range to match. Our stock runs across three main groups, steel and metal bars, plate products including Bisalloy and RHS, and a full sheet metal range, all supplied from our yard for pickup or delivery across Newcastle and the wider Hunter Valley. Here's what we stock and supply for Newcastle customers.
Steel and Metal Bars
Metal Mates stocks square bar, channel, round bar, flat bar and angle for construction, transport, mining and general manufacturing jobs across Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. Square bar is available for commercial and residential construction, transport, general manufacturing and mining, and if you need something heavier we also carry steel billet sections.
Our bar range for Newcastle jobs covers:
- Square bar from 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 19mm, 20mm and 25mm up to 40mm, plus steel billet sections from 40mm to 75mm
- Channel in 75mm x 40mm, 100mm x 50mm and 125mm x 65mm for residential building, construction, mining, transport and general manufacturing
- Round bar from 6mm right up to 90mm, used everywhere from home construction to automotive work and general engineering
- Flat bar from 10mm x 3mm through to 300mm x 6mm for the same wide range of construction and manufacturing applications
- Equal angle from 20mm x 20mm x 3mm to 200mm x 200mm x 26mm, and unequal angle from 75mm x 50mm x 5mm to 150mm x 100mm x 10mm
Whatever bar section your Newcastle job calls for, Metal Mates keeps it in stock and ready to go.
Steel Plates and Sheeting
Metal Mates supplies floor plate, mid steel plate, Bisalloy, RHS and a full sheet metal range to Newcastle builders, fabricators and manufacturers. Floor plate is a flat sheet with an elevated tread pattern, used in general fabrication, industrial flooring and other non-residential applications across Newcastle.
Our plate and sheet range for Newcastle customers includes:
- Floor plate in 2.1mm across 1500 x 1200, 1800 x 1200, 2100 x 1200 and 2400 x 1200, plus 3mm in 2400 x 1200, with other sizes available on request
- Mid steel plate, hot rolled as standard with cold rolled sheets able to be ordered in, from 3mm right through to 25mm
- Bisalloy, a high tensile, abrasion resistant, quenched and tempered steel used in mining, construction, general fabrication, pressure vessel and defence work, from 3mm to 100mm
- RHS (rectangular hollow sections) from 15mm x 15mm to 300mm x 300mm, available painted or pre-galvanised, for everything from load bearing frames to furniture
For sheeting, Metal Mates carries hot rolled sheets for welding and construction, zinc sheets mainly used for galvanising, gal sheets with a continuous hot dip zinc coating, sign white sheet favoured by Newcastle signwriters and trailer builders, and HW350 (CoreTM) for railway rolling stock, storage hoppers, shipping containers and architectural features. Hot rolled sheet comes in 2400 x 1200 across 1.6mm, 2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm gauges, zinc sheet in 2400 x 1200 across 0.9mm, 1.15mm and 1.5mm, and gal sheet in 2440 x 1219 from 0.40mm through to 2.95mm, with other sizes available on request for larger Newcastle jobs.
Steel Fencing and Gate Materials
Metal Mates supplies the raw materials for steel fencing and gates across Newcastle, including mild steel flat bar, tubular RHS, angle and plate for post and rail, palisade and panel fencing systems. Steel fencing is a popular choice for Newcastle properties because it holds up well and suits both security and streetscape needs.
For Newcastle fencing and gate projects, we stock:
- Flat bar and angle for post, rail and frame construction on residential and commercial fencing
- RHS for tubular fencing frames, gate frames and structural posts
- Plate for panel infills, gate hardware plates and custom fencing features
- Galvanised or painted RHS and angle suited to Newcastle's coastal exposure
We'd always suggest checking your local council requirements on fencing height and finish before you order, and our team is happy to help you think through what that means for material selection. Laser cut decorative panels and perforated infills are becoming a popular front boundary option around Newcastle, and we can talk you through material options if that's the look you're after.
Steel Fabrication Materials
Metal Mates keeps a genuinely deep range on hand for Newcastle fabricators, covering flat bar, angle, round bar, tube steel including RHS, plate, channel and Bisalloy for the toughest jobs. Newcastle's fabrication shops combine plenty of hands on trade knowledge with modern equipment, and Metal Mates supplies the raw material that keeps that work moving.
Custom cutting is available on most of our bar, plate and sheet stock, so Newcastle fabricators aren't left squaring up oversized lengths on site. Round bar and flat bar are two of our most requested fabrication staples, used everywhere from general engineering projects to automotive work, and we keep both in a wide enough range of sizes that most jobs can be sorted from stock on the day. Bisalloy is worth a special mention here too, it's the high tensile, abrasion resistant plate Metal Mates supplies for armour, structural and wear resistant applications in mining, construction, general fabrication, pressure vessel and defence work, and we stock it from 3mm to 100mm.
Steel Products Across Newcastle and the Hunter Valley
Metal Mates delivers steel products from our yard out to builders, fabricators and homeowners right across the Newcastle region. From the harbour end of town around Honeysuckle and Newcastle East, through to the inland spread of the Hunter Valley around Cessnock and Maitland, our stock moves the same way, on our own trucks, cut to size where needed. Whether your site sits near Nobbys Head on the coast or further out toward Lake Macquarie, the same range of bars, plate, sheet and fencing materials is available for pickup or delivery.

FAQ’s about Steel Products in Newcastle
What steel products do you stock in Newcastle?
Metal Mates stocks steel and metal bars including square bar, channel, round bar, flat bar and angle, plate products including floor plate, mid steel plate, Bisalloy and RHS, and sheet products including hot rolled sheet, zinc sheet, gal sheet, sign white and HW350 (CoreTM). If we don't have exactly what you're after on the floor in Newcastle, we can generally source it within a short turnaround.
Do you offer custom cutting on steel products?
Yes, Metal Mates offers custom cutting across most of our bar, plate and sheet range for Newcastle customers. Whether you need a specific bar length, a plate cut to size, or sheet trimmed for a fabrication job, our team can sort it before it leaves the yard. We'll talk through tolerances and finish with you at the time you place your order, so there are no surprises on site.
Do you provide steel fabrication services yourselves?
Metal Mates supplies the steel and metal products that Newcastle fabricators use, along with custom cutting to your specification. For full welded fabrication work, we're always happy to point you toward trusted local fabricators we've worked alongside for years, so your Newcastle project ends up in good hands from raw material through to finished product, without you having to chase down a separate supplier yourself.
How do I choose the right steel product for a coastal Newcastle property?
It comes down to how exposed your site is to salt air and weather. Properties closer to the Newcastle coastline generally do better with galvanised or coated finishes, and Metal Mates products like our gal sheet and painted or pre-galvanised RHS are built with that kind of exposure in mind. Come in and chat with the team about your specific site, and we'll help you land on the right steel product rather than guessing at it yourself.
Do you deliver steel products across Newcastle and the Hunter Region?
Yes, Metal Mates delivers across greater Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Region and Port Stephens. If you're closer to our yard, pickup is available too, and either way our team will confirm timing with you when you place your order so your materials land exactly when your Newcastle job needs them.
