Buying Guide

Choose the right alloy

6061 offers higher strength and machinability for structural or load-bearing uses, while 6063 (common in architectural stock) is easier to extrude and finish for trim and light framing

Match thickness to load

Thicknesses listed range from 1/16" to 1/4"; use thicker legs (1/8"–1/4") where stiffness and shear resistance matter, and thinner stock for light-duty bracing or trim

Pick leg dimensions for fit

Equal-leg angles like 2x2" and 1.5x1.5" provide symmetric support and fit common framing joints; choose larger leg sizes for greater bearing area

Consider length and cut needs

Standard 48" or 4 ft lengths reduce joins for longer runs; shorter 16" stock is useful for brackets and small parts to minimize waste

Check surface finish and application

6063 and architectural-designated angles typically have smoother finishes for visible installations; raw 6061 stock may require finishing for aesthetics
