Definitions
- the present invention relates to a support for a structural member such as a post, joist or beam, and in particular to a support which provides a hidden connection.
- the present invention addresses the above problems in providing a support which is hidden. Furthermore, the present invention goes further in providing a support which is not limited to supporting posts, but additionally caters for joists, beams and other structural members.
- the present invention provides, in a first aspect, a support for a structural member such as a post, beam or joist, the support comprising:
- the support is formed from a single strip of material.
- the support is formed from sheet metal. More preferably, the support is formed from steel or aluminium. More preferably, the support is galvanised.
- the at least one upstanding portion is arranged substantially perpendicular to the ground engaging portion.
- the at least one upstanding portion further comprises at least one seat portion for engaging the base of the structural member.
- the support comprises at least two upstanding portions which, in use, engage with the structural member.
- the at least two upstanding portions are arranged substantially parallel to one another, but perpendicular to the ground engaging portion.
- the support is formed from a single strip of material with only one bend line in its plane.
- the support is formed from a single strip of material with only two bend lines in its plane.
- the support is provided with reinforcing/strengthening ribs or embossments.
- the at least two upstanding portions are spaced apart from one another and, in use, receive a portion of the structural member therebetween.
- the support further comprises a bolt, tie or other member which, in use, bolt, tie or lock the at least two spaced apart upstanding portions elements together against the structural member.
- the support is for use with a timber structural member.
- the support is used to support a post.
- the support is used to support a beam.
- the support is used to support a joist.
- the support is used to support a structural member in a substantially vertical orientation.
- the support is used to support a structural member in a substantially horizontal orientation.
- the support is used to support a structural member in an orientation not normal to the vertical or the horizontal.
- the support is used to support a timber structural member.
- the present invention provides a method of supporting a structural member using the support and comprising the steps of:
- the method further comprises the step of:
- one or more fence panels cover the at least one upstanding portion of the support.
- the support is used to, and provides a method for, constructing a fence.
- the support 10 is formed from a single strip of sheet metal, preferably steel, and preferably galvanised.
- a first part of the support 10 comprises a ground engaging portion 12 for anchoring the support 10 to the ground, a support surface or other support structure.
- the support surface is typically a concrete strip foundation or surface.
- Apertures 14 are provided in the ground engaging portion 12 for receiving a bolt or other fastener to engage and anchor the ground engaging portion 12 to the ground, support surface or support structure.
- a second part of the support element 10 comprises a pair of upstanding portions 20, 30 which, in use, engage with the structural member (not shown) to be supported.
- the upstanding portions 20, 30 are arranged substantially perpendicular to the ground engaging portion 12.
- a number of apertures 22, 32 are provided in the upstanding portions 20, 30 for receiving a screw, nail, bolt or other fastener to engage and anchor the structural member to the upstanding portions 20, 30.
- the seat portions 40 extend laterally, in the same plane as, but in a substantially perpendicular direction to the substantially vertical upstanding portion 20, 30. In use, the seat portions receive and support the base of the structural member to be supported.
- the seat portions 40 are dimensioned so as to support the base of the supported structural member above the ground, support surface or support structure to prevent contact with water or moisture ingress into the structural member.
- the upstanding portions 20, 30 are substantially parallel to one another, and extend in directions substantially perpendicular to the ground engaging portion 12, although these aspects are by no means essential.
- apertures 22, 32 may be provided for a bolt, tie rod, or other element (not shown) to bolt, tie or lock the two spaced apart support elements 10 together in a spaced apart manner, with the structural member sandwiched therebetween. This can provide extra structural integrity to the support 10.
- Optional reinforcing or strengthening ribs/embossments may be provided to give further structural integrity to the support 10.
- a post 60 supported by the support 10 described above.
- the ground engaging portion 12 of the support 10 is anchored by fasteners (not shown) extending through apertures 14 into to a support surface in the form of a concrete strip foundation 100.
- the post 60 is provided with grooves 62 on opposing surfaces to receive the upstanding portions 20, 30 of the support 10.
- the post 60 rests on the seat potions 40 of the support 10 and is anchored in place by fasteners (not shown) extending through apertures 22, 32 into the post 60.
- a fence panel or panels 80 may be received in, and supported by, the grooves 62 of the post 60, so as to cover the upstanding portion 20, 30 of the support 10.
- the fence panel or panels 80 may extend between other like posts 60 (not shown) to form a fence.
- the post 60 marks the end of a fence and the exposed groove 62 can be capped, typically using beading (not shown) so as to cover the upstanding portion 20, 30 of the support 10.
- spacers or packing elements 90 may be beneficially employed between the ground engaging portion 12 and the base of the structural member 60 (not shown) to be supported.
- These spacers or packing elements 90 may take any suitable form and/or dimension, and may interact with one another (in the case that there are a plurality of spacers or packing elements employed) and/or with the ground engaging portion 12 and/or with the base of the structural member 60 to be supported. This interaction may be achieved using fastening means, interference fit, interlocking means, or a shape or feature that prevents or resists removal of the spacers or packing elements from the installation in use.
- spacers or packing elements 90 may be formed from any suitable material and may assist in supporting the base of the supported structural member 60 above the ground, support surface or support structure to prevent contact with water or moisture ingress into the structural member.
- the spacers or packing elements 90 may compliment the seat portions 40 and may also assist in increasing the bearing area and/or the load capacity of the installation.
- the one or more spacers or packing elements 90, or at least the function of the one or more spacers or packing elements may be an integral part of or integrally formed feature of the support 10 (e.g. a raised surface in the ground engaging portion 12).
- the present invention is not limited to supporting posts.
- the present invention may be used to support beams, joists or any other structural members of any material.
- the present invention is not limited to supporting structural members in a vertical orientation.
- the present invention can be used to support structural members in a horizontal or inclined orientation.
- the support may be formed in different shape configurations.
- the support could be formed from separate parts or made from alternative materials.
- the number of apertures provided in each support for fastening and anchoring may be increased, and their relative positions, varied.
- the apertures are countersunk so that, in use, the heads of fasteners may be flush with the surface of the upstanding portions.
