If you are requesting bulk discounts, cutting, or standard sanding services only, we will send you a cart with your product selections. You may enter your shipping information and purchase directly at that time. Please note, the cart will not allow edits to the quote. Any changes will have to be completed by our team. If we do not have enough information to complete your quote we will reach out to you directly. If you are requesting additional services or custom sanding, a team member will reach out to you to finalize a quote.

If you request a custom length you will be charged for a full length item (or items if more than 1 is needed to meet your request) plus a cutting fee. You will then be shipped the item sized to your specification and any remaining length of the orginal item (drops). Sanding also incurs a fee which will be included in the quote. All items that have been sanded or cut may not be returned.

The Available Quantity listed above is what we have in inventory for this item. Provided there has not been a prior sale, you can expect an order placed today, for this quantity or less, to ship the next business day. For quantities over the number available:
Generally available to ship in two to four weeks.

These tubes have surface wrinkles. They are structurally sound, but have cosmetic blemishes.


Unlike metals which have similar properties in all directions (isotropic), the properties of composites are varying, dependent on the orientation of the fibers in each layer. This particular carbon fiber fabric rectangle tube has an internal diameter (ID) of 2.0" x 4.0" (flat to flat) and an outer diameter (OD) of 2.5" x 4.6" (flat to flat). The outer ply of material on this tube is a 2x2 twill weave (diagonal appearance seen below) which will prevent fiber breakout better than unidirectional material. Thus, fabric tubes provide an ideal surface for machining. The core of this tube is almost always comprised of multi-directional "uni" plies which makes most carbon fiber fabric & unidirectional tubes ideal for bending and compression applications.

Rectangle 2.0" x 4.0" Roll Wrapped Fabric Tubing Facts

  • Ideal for bending and compression applications
  • 2x2 twill weave provides a traditional carbon fiber aesthetic
  • 2.0" x 4.0" ID x 2.5" x 4.6" OD x 105" Long
  • Gloss Finish

Features & Benefits

Fabric roll wrapped tubing offers many benefits over uni-directional and even filament wound tubing. That isn't to say it is the best however. Here are a few reasons you may wish to consider fabric roll wrapped tubing for your application.

  • Superior machine ability 
  • Much better durability by reducing the potential extent of fiber breakout if drilled, machined or damaged
  • Typical aesthetic associated with carbon fiber products
  • Most "fabric" tubes contain a majority 0° plies in the layup allowing for the most effective bending load support. (whereas filament wound tubes cannot achieve angles less than ~7°

  • 0° Fibers maximize bending stiffness. Consider bending the tube over your knee.
  • 45° Fibers maximize torsional stiffness. Typically plied together in an opposing manner, i.e. ±45°. Consider twisting the tube like a vehicle's driveshaft.
  • 90° Fibers maximize crushing stiffness and generally assist in overall tube strength. Consider laying the tube on the ground and stepping on it.
