PFCs & Universal Beams
The deeper sections a clear-span carport or patio needs, plus the channels and beams that frame stable rows, shelters and arena covers. All of it is cut a short drive from Hendra.

Steel Beams Hendra
For Steel Beams Hendra, talk to Ace Posts and Beams. Hendra asks steel to do two very different jobs. On family streets it spans a double carport or patio without a post in the middle. Beside the racecourses it holds up stables that are hosed down every day. We cut PFCs and universal beams for both, from our branch a few minutes south-east of Hendra on Kingsford-Smith Drive.

Made to Measure
Steel Beams Hendra, sized for the span you want to keep open
The most common Hendra request is some version of "no post there". Owners want room for two cars side by side, a patio with a clear view of the yard, or a stable aisle a float can reverse down. Steel spans further than timber of a similar depth. Once your engineer has sized the member for the roof and wind load, we cut it to the exact length, with posts and plates to suit.
Height matters as much as span here. Near Schulz Canal, Council flood levels can set how high a raised floor has to sit, and that changes every post under it. Send the final heights from your engineer's flood-aware design and we'll cut each post to its own height and label it. The beams then sit level without packing.
Why Builders Choose Us
Steel Beams Hendra homes and horse properties rely on
Hendra is one of the closest residential suburbs to our branch. You can bring a drawing in, talk through a finish and be back on site the same morning. The bigger reason is range. The same counter prices a carport beam for a Queenslander and galvanised framing for a stable row, and knows why each one needs a different finish.
Finishes to Suit the Job
Raw steel, prime painted, hot-dipped galvanised and pre-drilled. Stables get galvanised steel, because hosing, manure and constant animal contact eat through paint. Beams hidden in a dry ceiling are fine prime painted.
Fast 3-Day Supply
Three days from order is typical. A house sitting on props waiting for its new posts can't wait long, so give us the lift date and we'll plan around it.
Made-to-Measure
Beams cut to span and posts cut to individual flood-level heights, pre-drilled for their plates. Nothing is trimmed on site and nothing needs packing.
Expert Advice
Tell us what the structure is for, whether that's cars, people or horses, and we'll help match the finish to it. Span, section and flood heights come from your engineer.
Keen Local Pricing
Trade-focused pricing, and a branch close enough that a forgotten plate is a quick drive instead of a second delivery charge.
What We Supply
Steel Beams Hendra and matching posts, plates and bracing
For carports, patios, raised homes and equine buildings around Hendra, our stock lines and options span:
- PFC (parallel flange channel)
- Universal beams (UB)
- Raw steel
- Prime painted
- Hot-dipped galvanised
- Pre-drilled
- Stock sizes
- Made-to-measure
Hendra orders usually combine beams with galvanised steel posts, base and cap plates, and bracing for roofs exposed to wind. When a house is being raised to meet a flood level, Ace's house raising and restumping team can handle the lift, with plans, soil testing and certification. The steel that goes underneath can then be quoted as part of the same job.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does your team supply in Hendra?
We supply three kinds of work. Homes get clear-span beams for carports, patios and wider openings. Raised houses get posts and beams, often at heights set by flood planning. Stables, shelters and arena covers near the Ascot and Doomben racecourses get galvanised framing. We supply stock sizes and made-to-measure lengths, plus posts, plates and bracing.
Can you provide made-to-measure steel beams?
Yes. Beams are cut to the span on your engineer's design. Posts are cut to the height listed for each one, which matters on raised homes where flood levels and ground falls mean no two posts are the same. We label them so they go in the right place.
What types of steel beams do you stock?
Parallel flange channels and universal beams across the residential and light-commercial range. That includes the deeper sections often specified to remove a middle post from a carport. Anything outside stock, we supply made-to-measure.
What finishes or preparation options are available?
Raw steel, prime painted, hot-dipped galvanised, and pre-drilling. For stables and horse shelters, we recommend hot-dipped galvanised on everything. Wash-down water, manure and knocks from animals break down paint systems fast. Carports and patios open to the weather also usually go galvanised.
How quickly can I get my steel beams after ordering?
Three days from order is typical. Galvanised items take longer than plain cut lengths, so on a house raise, order the under-house posts as soon as your engineer finalises the heights.
Do you offer delivery as well as pickup?
Both. Hendra is only minutes from our Eagle Farm branch, so collection is easy for shorter lengths. For long clear-span beams or a full stable frame, we'll deliver. Tell us about gate widths and where on a horse property the truck can safely stop.

About Hendra
Hendra is about 6 km north-east of the Brisbane CBD. It's bounded by Schulz Canal and the Airport Link motorway to the north and the Ascot and Doomben racecourses to the south. It began as farmland growing out of the Nundah settlement, and took its name from the railway station named in 1882, after a Cornish word for an old hamlet. From the 1880s, estates such as Raceview were sold off overlooking the Eagle Farm racecourse. Today, older homes share the suburb with working stables and a small industrial pocket in the north-east. Low ground near the canal still shapes how high those homes are raised.
