Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is general metal fabrication used for?

    General fabrication involves creating metal products for various industries. It’s used to build structural frames, brackets, tanks, railings, toolboxes, and other parts requiring strength, precision, or durability. These fabrications can be used in marine vessels, construction projects, manufacturing operations, and domestic settings such as workshops or storage areas.

  • What’s the difference between general and custom fabrication?

    General fabrication refers to standard items that don’t require a new design: handrails, tanks, and toolboxes. Custom fabrication involves creating highly specialised or one-off components tailored to a specific project or use. 

  • Which metals are best for general fabrication work?

    Aluminium and stainless steel are among the best materials for general fabrication. Aluminium is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to form. Stainless steel is more substantial and offers high resistance to wear and environmental exposure. 

  • Can I have just one item fabricated, or is there a minimum order?

    Yes, many fabrication workshops accept one-off projects, especially for custom or replacement parts. Whether you need a dog crate, tank, or custom bracket, fabricators can often work from a drawing, sample, or description to create precisely what you need.
