Hi, I need some advice on what steel tubing to go for. I have either 65x35x2mm or 50x25x2mm.

The steel tube is 2.4M & stays in upright/vertical position, with an extended 40cm long piece horizontal on top holding some weight between 30-40KG for some time.

I would like to go the 50x25x2mm as it's smaller & liter, but not sure if it can hold this weight safely.

If you could please advise if it's safe, or if I should go the larger tube?

thanks
