Bradley, Simply changing the word "they" to "we" would put you back within the accepted practice for the forum.

Thanks for the comment DrV, I'm a bit confused. I don't work for Kernow or connected with them in any way. Perhaps you could DM me with your comments, cheers

Sourcing the parts is trivial compared with being skilled, competent and practised in their safe use AND understanding the additional loads that will eventually be added to the assembly.

 

Start with an understanding of what the fixed building will support, then what the suspension fittings will support. Then add the weight of the suspension mechanism and all the hooks clamps cables lanterns etc and design a system that complies with the law of the land and the law of gravity and has a sufficient safety factor for safety.

Some great discussion and input in this thread. I think this is a good summary of the above

Hi there,

 

My apologies for intruding with what is probably a very basic question!

 

I know there are lots of ways to hang bars from I-Beams but these are the ones we have - for safety, we want to add more of them to support the bars better and spread some extra weight that we are adding, so they need to be the same type & height.

 

They grip the I-beam ledge on either side, with a metal bar underneath, a short length of screw rod hangs from that, then the bar clamp.

 

I seem to have looked everywhere but I cannot find them.

Does anyone here know what these are called, and/or (ideally) where I could get them from?

 

Many thanks in advance,

Simon
