Abstract

An elongate structural member 1 for joining support beams 2 of a wall or roof cladding system comprises a rolled tube 3 with an axially extending seam 4. A single piece plastics entrapping member 10 is inserted into opposite end openings 6, 7 of the tube 3. A threaded insert in the form of a nut 11 is held captive in a member 10 at one end opening 6 and a threaded insert in the form of a bolt 12 is held captive in another member 10 at the opposite end opening 7. Each entrapping member 10 comprises a head part 15 which is external of the tube 3 and a shank 16 which is inserted into the tube 3. A circumferentially extending groove 17 is formed between the head 15 and the shank 16 to receive a swaged part 19 of the tube 3, on assembly. <IMAGE>
