D section steel strip

Feb 20, 2010 4 Replies

I've been asked to build a ramp/chute so that 11kg x 40cm dia beer kegs can be slid down into a cellar.



No problem to build out of 18mm ply & timber, but it needs some flatish D section steel strips to allow the kegs to slide down smoothly and also to prevent excessive wear.



Tried google, but I'm not getting much. Does this stuff have a specific name? I need about 8 metres of it.



Sounds like keel band, although that's generally brass.

Intended for fencing, but may do the job you want:

Isn't this also known as "half-round bar".

================================================

It's used for outdoors handrails etc.
