Either weld, tek or both tek screw and weld these baseplates to the shs columns. N.B If using these baseplates on top of a slab or concrete pier it is recommended to also weld the baseplate down the vertical 5mm gap on both sides of the post and leave a 5mm gap at the bottom if a drainage outlet hole is required.<\/p>\n
Provide a minimum 4 teks per column baseplate and then if required (refer above) provide a 5mm weld in between the 5mm gap between the 2 C-channels on the baseplate the SHS columns sit between.<\/p>\n
It is good practice to drill a 5mm hole each side of the end of the column for drainage, so if welding leave a 5mm gap from the top of the baseplate before you start your weld to the top of the 2 C-channels each side of the column.<\/p>\n
N.B you can use these baseplates as top plates on top of the post as well just reverse the plate upside down and tek and weld to the post \u2013 refer Top Plate images above.<\/p>\n
