--><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to selecting the ideal gas strut to meet your unique requirements, you&#8217;ll come across two main choices: custom gas struts and stock gas struts. In this Blog, we&#8217;ll discuss the essential distinctions between these two types of gas struts to empower you with the knowledge needed to make a well-informed choice.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Custom gas struts are made, based around your needs. We consider your specific needs, like how much weight they need to lift, how long they should be, and where they&#8217;ll attach and the type of environment it will be installed in. With the support of Metrols\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/online-shop\/strut-configurator\">Gas Strut Configurator<\/a>, you can input your ideal gas struts length and size and our online tool will provide you with a price for your customised gas strut.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>You will have the flexibility to select what you need and require for your request. For instance, you can opt for the gas strut to provide dampening once it has extended 50%. Stock gas struts, on the flip side, are made in bulk with standard sizes and strengths. They&#8217;re great for everyday jobs where a custom fit isn&#8217;t necessary, and they&#8217;re a cheaper option.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s discuss the difference between these two choices and explore why you might choose one over the other.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ffe93a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ffe93a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- wp:image {\"id\":1173,\"width\":\"1033px\",\"height\":\"auto\",\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"457\" class=\"wp-image-1173\" style=\"width: 1033px; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/5-1024x457.jpeg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/5-1024x457.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/5-300x134.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/5-768x343.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/5-1536x686.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/5-2048x914.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:paragraph --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading -->\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-070ff92 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"070ff92\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3eeb637 e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3eeb637\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1a2de4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d1a2de4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- wp:image {\"id\":1173,\"width\":\"1033px\",\"height\":\"auto\",\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:paragraph --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading --><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:image {\"id\":1174,\"width\":\"758px\",\"height\":\"auto\",\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"wp-image-1174\" style=\"width: 758px; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC07629-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC07629-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC07629-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC07629-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC07629-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC07629.jpg 1801w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:paragraph --><!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10901d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"10901d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- wp:image {\"id\":1173,\"width\":\"1033px\",\"height\":\"auto\",\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:paragraph --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Custom Gas Struts<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

This might mean adjusting where they attach or tweaking the angles they work at. Stock gas struts, even though they&#8217;re versatile and budget-friendly, might not match your equipment&#8217;s design and function exactly, so you may need to make these extra changes to make everything work together smoothly. It&#8217;s a trade-off between the convenience and lower cost of stock options and the need to fine-tune them to make sure they work perfectly with your project. So, when you&#8217;re thinking about using stock gas struts, it&#8217;s important to carefully consider these factors and decide if the extra effort is worth the convenience they offer in your project.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3fbfbd1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3fbfbd1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- wp:image {\"id\":1173,\"width\":\"1033px\",\"height\":\"auto\",\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:paragraph --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" class=\"wp-image-1181\" style=\"width: 753px; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC07457-1024x569.jpeg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC07457-1024x569.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC07457-300x167.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC07457-768x426.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC07457-1536x853.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC07457.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de9acda e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"de9acda\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd02464 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd02464\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- wp:image {\"id\":1173,\"width\":\"1033px\",\"height\":\"auto\",\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:paragraph --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Metrol Springs is your go-to destination for both custom and ready-made stock\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.metrol.com\/online-shop\/gas-struts.html\">gas struts for businesses across the UK<\/a>, providing a complete solution for all your project requirements.
