Steel Rack
Fix the Steel Rack with the steel
angle brackets provided. The
brackets must be spaced no more
than 300mm apart.
When joining different lengths of
Steel Rack, a simple way of ensuring
that the correct pitch spacing is
achieved, is to clamp a small off-cut
between the two pieces.
Do not weld the off-cut
to the gate or the join.
