This Australian-made, 40ft/12m long single post set has been engineered for large double truss shelters.. This 200x100x2600mm single post set with eaves rail allows constructing a dome shelter using only one 40ft/12m long shipping container situated on either the left or right side.

The post and eaves rail assembly is made from hot-dip galvanised steel.

• Posts: 200x100mm galvanised steel posts with 250mm x 250mm welded top plate and 400mm x 250mm base plate.
• Rails: 100×50 RHS eaves beam for a sturdy truss base plate connection.

Component Overview

• Galvanised steel posts 200mm x 100mm x 4mm thick.
• 2.6m posts are the same height as a General Purpose shipping container, providing ample headroom under the outer edges of the shelter. 2.9m posts for High Cube shipping containers are available.
• A 250mm x 250mm base plate welded to the bottom of the post contains 4 x 18mm holes, allowing the base plate to be securely anchored to the foundation using threaded rod and rebar cages, DynaBolt™ or ChemSet™ anchors.

Eaves Rail and Top Plate

• Running along the top of the posts is the galvanised steel eaves rail. 3 metre long sections, 100mm x 50mm x 4mm thick RHS.
• The eaves rail sits on top of the post, resting on a pre-welded 360mmLx100mmW top plate on top of the post.
• Each post top plate has 12 holes, 6 on each side of the post. TEK screws are used to attach the top post plate to the eaves rail, forming a secure connection. Additionally, reinforcing the connection with a fillet weld is highly recommended.

Roof Truss Connection Steps

Once the eaves rails are secured to the posts, the shelter frame base rails and truss tube sleeve adapters can be connected.

Depending on the type of dome shelter, the separate truss sleeve tube plates can be welded into position.

Single row post set and shelter combinations are available in the following sizes:

Note: The dome shelter assembly and PVC cover sold separately.

• 40ft wide domes (12m)
• 60ft wide domes (18m)
• 70ft wide domes (21.35m)
