Technical specs of the Techno Metal Post
The Techno Metal Post is a circular metallic hollow tubing with a variable diameter ranging from 48.3mm to 14mm and a variable wall thickness from 3.68mm to 5.74mm. A factory welded helix (one or more) consisting of a diameter from 150mm to 600mm is attached to the base. The helices serve directly as a foundation. The sizes of the helices are determined by the ground bearing capacity (compactness) and the load.
The Techno Metal Post reference standards
The Techno Metal Posts are made of metal according to the ASTM A500 grade C and CAN/CSA - G40.21-97 construction metal standards. They are heat galvanized with galvanization rating of at least 610 g/sq.m according to the CSA-G164M-92 standards.
With our exclusive polyethylene sheath, the frost will not affect the post. Exclusive to Techno Metal Post, this plastic sheath is made of polyethylene tubing especially designed to cover the metallic hollow tubing.
Under frost conditions, the plastic covering slides along the tubing post in order to protect it. In other words, the frost moves the plastic sheath while the metal post (and your structure) stays intact.
