A structural assembly, such as for use as a rocker panel in an automotive vehicle and which includes an outer rocker cover and an inner attached and reinforcing member. The reinforcing member is constructed from a continuous steel grade and roll formed material and includes first and second spaced apart wall portions which converge at upper and lower extending ends. An integrally formed web interconnects the inner and outer portions at the lower extending end and exhibits a bulbous shaped configuration defined by an inner radius. Drainage holes are formed through bottommost facing locations of said web, at preselected distances along its length, and in order to evacuate water and paint.
