20ft Double Row Post Set

Structural Overview

The post and eaves beam system is made from hot-dip galvanized steel and consists of:

• • 250mm x 250mm x 12mm base plate.
  • Steel post 100mm x 100 x 2mm 360mm x 100mm welded top plate.
  • Eaves beam, 100mm x 50mm x 2 RHS

Detailed Component Overview

• Galvanised steel posts 2.6m or 2.9m long, 100mm x 100mm x 2mm thick.
• 2.6m posts are the same height as a General Purpose shipping container, providing ample headroom under the outer edges of the shelter. 2.9m posts for High Cube shipping containers.
• Base plate upright connectors, 89mm x 89mm x 3mm thick square tube.
• Base fittings consist of a 250mm x 250mm plate welded to the bottom, containing 4 x 18mm holes, allowing the base plate to be securely anchored to the foundation.

Eaves Beamand Top Plate

• Running along the top of the posts is the galvanised steel eaves beam . 3 metre long sections, 100mm x 50mm x 2mm thick.
• The eaves beam sits on top of the post, resting on a 360mm long top plate, which is welded to the top of the support post.
• The eaves beam is securely screwed to the underside of the bearer via the pre-drilled holes.
• Each top plate has 12 holes, 6 on each side. TEK screws are used to attach the top post plate to the eaves beam , forming a secure connection.

Truss Connection

Once the eaves beams are connected to the posts, the dome shelter base rails and truss tube sleeve adapters can be connected.
Depending on the type of dome shelter, the truss sleeve tube plates can be welded into position or clamped onto the eaves beam using high-tensile 100mm U Bolts and top plate assembly.

Space-Saving Solutions

Post-mounted shelter designs are the perfect solution when ground space is limited and shipping containers are not an option. For instance;

1. Traditional container dome shelters are typically attached to the shipping containers via the inside edge, outside edge or a combination of both. 
2. Using a post set means the shelter is not constrained by the additional with of the containers, making maximum use of the undercover space.

The 20ft/6m post set and dome shelter combination provides the same undercover storage area as a two-container-mounted shelter. This makes it an ideal choice for work sites or commercial properties where space is limited.
