3.3 Posts set in concrete
Note: Applies to the 90 post and 115 post
Saw posts to length if required
The posts will need to be machined on site to ensure that they cannot be removed from the
foundations. There are various ways of doing this, which can also be combined:
On the underside of the 90 post, tap two M8 threads 35 mm deep into the screw
channels and insert screws.
Insert screws into the holes on the side of the posts
Drill several holes into the side of the posts (at least 13 mm in diameter to allow the
concrete to flow into the posts).
Before inserting the posts into the foundations, they will need to be treated with an anti-
corrosion coating. Protective coatings containing chromates or silicate are suitable for this
purpose, but adhesive bitumen paint also works.
Then insert the posts into the holes in the foundations; do not set the posts in concrete at this
point but simply secure them so that they can be aligned during the installation.
Only after the roof has been fully installed and aligned can the posts be set in concrete in the
foundations.
