Buying Tips for South African Makers and Engineers

• Check compatibility with standard bracket mounting holes and support hardware sold at Communica.
• Consider corrosion resistance-galvanised posts are better for humid or coastal sites.
• Use pre-drilled options for rapid, tool-less fitting in teaching labs or prototyping settings.

Selecting and Using Angle Iron Corner Posts

How to Size and Specify Your Post

Picking the right angle iron involves balancing load requirements, available length, and mounting preferences. Here's a typical example for a project bench frame:

• Determine the max frame height and width needed
• Choose a profile size to handle the expected load (see table above)
• Select a minimum thickness for rigidity-heavier posts may need 3mm or thicker steel
• If outdoor, select galvanised for longevity

For typical student or workshop projects (e.g., a 1.2m high storage rack holding 60kg), a 25x25x2mm galvanised post is often suitable. Use mild steel for indoor use to save costs, but always derate for heavy equipment or vibration.
