Called around a few steel suppliers local to me. None of them knew what "RHS" was, until one shop said, "You mean, 'Rectangular Tubing?' and in the brochure they sent me it's listed as "Carbon Steel Mechanical & Structural, Rectangular Tubing."

Does this sound like equivalent material to what you used?

They aren't listed in metric here but when I did the conversion, the closest standard sizing they have would be a 2" x 4" x 1/4" -- all just slightly larger/thicker (so, presumably, no less strong?) than the 50x100x5 dimensions you used in mm.

Appreciate anyone willing to chime in with more informed perspective/experience, in case I'm missing something.

Thanks!

Should be good with what you found, sizing is similar so a# you say shouldn’t be much different in terms of strength.

For reference RHS in U.K. is Rectangular Hollow Section so ‘rectangular tubing’
