Kit Engineering Design Options

Post and Beam OPTION which will determine your quantity of posts required.

BASIC KIT (highest quantity of posts): The basic kit is designed to attach to a 3.5" (4" nominal) concrete slab or wood deck and does not use any steel post inserts or steel beam inserts.

FULLY REINFORCED KIT (least quantity of posts): The fully reinforced kit cannot be attached to a concrete slab or wood deck, this option requires concrete footings (average footing size is 24" to 36" cubed). This kit uses steel post inserts as well as a steel c-beam insert which will gain you the maximum post spacing for a single beam (double c-beam nets the maximum post spacing available).

(Note: Fully Reinforced Kits are a good option in high snow load areas, the slab attachment in high snow loads will require a very high quantity of posts, this is especially true for larger projections.)
