TECH SPECIFICATIONS

| Material | Formed/Welded sheet steel |

| Fasteners | Use maximum ¼” diameter concrete screws such as GRK Caliburn or Tapcon and minimum 2-¼” length or use ¼” expansion bolts for concrete surfaces. Fasteners sold separately. See our Fasteners selection. |
| Recommended Uses & Code Compliance | Residential support columns. DO NOT USE AS A RAILING POST OR FOR LATERAL LOADS. TOP OF POST MUST BE SECURED TO SUPERSTRUCTURE. THIS IS FOR COMPRESSION LOADS ONLY. |
| Composite Decking | Pre-drill screw holes before driving screws into composite decking. Composite and synthetic boards are very dense and if holes are not pre-drilled you may snap off the head of the screw. Also pre-drilling holes on wood or composite deck boards anytime a screw will be driven very close to the edge of a board. This will prevent the board from splitting. |
| Recommended Wood Species | Common construction softwoods. Hardwoods can be used but boring the center hole requires more skill and effort due to density of wood. |
