FIBERGLASS GRATING LEGS

Molded fiberglass grating, with its inherent bi-directional strength, can be economically supported on strategically placed fiberglass grating legs. Canadian Composite Structures’s fiberglass grating leg systems are a cost effective way to support elevated fiberglass grating in trenches, containment pits and other similar applications, and are generally less expensive than FRP beams and structures. Fiberglass grating legs can be fixed in height or adjustable for sloping floors, yet sturdy enough to support loads up to 200 psf.  Fiberglass grating leg floor heights are available up to 5 feet.

Features:

• Versatile
• Easy Installation
• Cost Effective
• Lightweight
• Corrosion Resistant
• Nonconductive
   

Fiberglass Grating Leg Configurations Available:

A. Fixed height, single head legs – used internally in panels or at edge panels
B. Fixed height, double head legs – placed at panel intersections to support 2 panels
C. Adjustable height, single head legs – offer adjustability of +/- 2”
D. Adjustable height, double head legs – offer adjustability of +/- 2”
E. Adjustable height, quad head legs – offer adjustability of +/- 2”
F. Adjustable Micro single head legs – for floor heights less than 9” to top of grating

* Note: Should you require a minimal amount of elevation for drainage, Canadian Composite Structures can supply modified single head fiberglass grating plugs a ½” clearer height.

Selection Procedure:

  1. Begin by selecting the required fiberglass grating and leg layout (see the following pages) based on the fiberglass grating depth, load and deflection requirements, and the most efficient layout for your project.
  2. Choose the fiberglass grating leg configuration from above (Fixed or Adjustable). Sketch the locations of the fiberglass grating legs for your layout.
  3. Develop your Bill of Materials for each type of leg in your plan. Once complete, call Canadian Composite Structures with your Bill of Materials and floor height for an immediate quote.
