Meet Pedestal Structure Requirements
If a pedestal is going to be used, it must meet the following minimum requirements. Refer to Figure 3.
NOTE:
If the pedestal exceeds 3.28 ft (1 m), braces must be placed at 120° intervals. Sizing is based on Structural
Steel Tubing 60,000 psi (415 MPa) minimum yield.
