Post supports and drive-in ground sleeves
Post supports from Alberts
Your used posts and beams are attacked by moisture? Their load-bearing capacity is deteriorating? - Not with our post supports and ground sockets. Because they protect against waterlogging where the sensitive top wood or end wood is vulnerable. Alberts post supports and ground sockets allow the water to run off and the residual moisture to dry. This way, your beams and posts will last for a long time.
Maximum protection from below
Thanks to Sendzimir galvanisation or hot-dip galvanisation, the post supports and ground sockets are well protected against the effects of the weather.
Maximum protection from above
Our post caps also provide ideal protection for the top of posts on fencing or pergolas. They are quick and easy to install and allow water to run off on all sides.
Firm hold - that's for sure!
The basic prerequisite for long durability and proper functioning of a timber construction is the correct ground anchoring of the posts. With our CE-marked products, we offer exactly that! According to European technical regulations, our post supports and timber connectors are approved for static constructions. This means we offer you the standard of the German building supply sector.
How do I attach a carport to the ground?
The posts of a carport must create a stable and secure connection to the ground. This connection should be permanent and withstand all weather conditions over a long period of time.
This is made possible by metal post supports. They are available in various designs, whereby it is important to ensure that the correct support is used for the respective building project.
For a carport, a CE-certified H-post support is recommended. This is designed for maximum load bearing and provides structural protection for the timber. The beam itself is made of a steel alloy and is designed to be set in concrete. The surface is hot-dip galvanised and thus offers a high level of corrosion protection.
Which post supports can be set in concrete?
Post girders that have a component serving as reinforcement are suitable for setting in concrete.
The most common are H-post girders, U-post girders and I-post girders, which have a concrete anchor. The post girder can consist of a corrugated reinforcing steel or a slightly angled round steel. Both provide a secure hold in the concrete after curing to prevent twisting and pulling out.
Depending on the design, post beams are CE-certified. The beam itself is made of a steel alloy, is corrosion-protected and usually has a hot-dip galvanised surface.
Are there post supports without setting in concrete?
Yes, there are post supports for screwing on or screwing in, or hammering in, such as ground sockets. Post supports for screwing on require a concrete, wood or metal base suitable for the planned load. Depending on the type of construction, they can be driven in with a hammer or turned into the ground with a screw-in tool.
For the respective application, the load limits of the beams or the maximum building dimensions must be observed. Not all of these beams are CE certified. They are mostly used for half-height fencing, clothes racks or sunshades. The beams themselves are made of a steel alloy with a hot-dip galvanised surface.
