Fixing onto Existing Concrete: Internal Footing
Ensure the M12 bolt is tightened. Refer figure 25.4
Important Note
Do not allow soil to remain in permanent contact with the columns, as corrosion will
result in the base of the column. Refer to the “Selection, Use and Maintenance of Stratco
Steel Products” brochure for complete details of the maintenance requirements.
Downpipes
Before attaching the downpipes, rivet the downpipe brackets to the column and bend the
flanges along the ‘break-line’ to accept the downpipe. Slide the downpipe over the gutter
outlet and rivet into position. Rivet the downpipe to the brackets. Weatherproof all the
fasteners with silicone.
Regular maintenance is essential to maintain the good looks of all Stratco steel products
and to ensure you receive the maximum life-span possible. Washing with clean water
must be frequent enough to prevent the accumulation of dust, salts, and pollutants
that may reduce the life of the product. Stratco steel products that are regularly washed
by rain require no additional maintenance. No Stratco steel structure or materials are
recommended for use over, or in close proximity, to swimming pools or spas. No material
that retains water (such as dirt or paving sand) should be placed against the columns.
Care must be taken when determining the location of Stratco steel products so that they
are not placed in close contact with sources of pollution or environmental factors that
could affect the life of the steel. Refer to the ‘Selection, Use and Maintenance’ brochure
for more information.
