Description

SHS timber beam cleats are perfect for attaching timber verandah beams, roof beams and stairway landing bearers to shs posts.

Either weld. bolt, or tek screw and weld the sliding channel to the post.

Most Builders will set a laser level for the top of the cleat, then slide the cleat up or down the shs post with 1 hand then use say 4 metal teks series 500 on each of the 2 channel faces to temporarily fix the channel cleat to the shs column, then when all cleats are fixed they will weld with a 5mm CFW down the 2 vertical edges of the shs cleat channel against the shs post. This allows for maximum strength at the cleat connection.

They really do save time in labour assembling these types of beams. If you drill a 4mm pilot hole through your shs column, the tek screw installation only takes 12 seconds per tek screw. The channel on the shs cleats already comes with numerous, 4, 5 or 6 off 4mm dia pilot holes pre-drilled into the 2 side faces of the sliding channel, so just continue drilling through these existing pilot holes into your shs column with a 4mm drill bit and your teks will be a breeze to install.
