FAQs: Solving On-Site Challenges
Q: Will heavy-duty posts withstand coastal salt spray?
A: Yes – 220g/m² galvanizing resists 1,500hr salt-fog (ASTM B117). Specify PVC-sleeved bases for tidal zones.
Q: Minimum embedment for highway signage?
A: 1:3 ratio (e.g., 3m post → 1m depth) + 40kg concrete footing. Wind load tested to 130km/h.
Q: Can powder-coated posts be recycled?
A: Fully recyclable. Coatings burn off in smelting – no landfill toxins.
Q: Lead time for custom RAL colors?
A: 12 days (including electrostatic curing & QA).
Q: Load capacity of 2.5mm posts for vine trellising?
A: 85kg vertical load per post (ISO 9227 compliant). Space at 2m intervals.
