A reinforced structure of a metallic member is described, in which a metallic member having an opening on at least one face thereof is reinforced with a resin member, deformation of the opening being inhibited by reinforcing means of (1) closing the opening with the resin member to form a rectangular closed cross-section, or (2) providing a reinforcing rib as a resin member in the inside of the opening and fixing a joint section integrally molded with the rib to the metallic member by a channel provided in the joint section or through engagement.
