Rebar Carport Saddle

Rebar Carport Saddle is a galvanized U-shaped post base with a ribbed rebar leg welded underneath. The leg is cast into the concrete footing, the timber post drops into the saddle, and bolts pass through the side plates, so the post stands clear of the concrete. Saddles are made to the post section and footing detail: request a quote with the post size, quantity and finish.

How it works

Cast in first, post in after

The rebar leg is pushed into the footing while the concrete is wet, then set to line and level. Once the concrete has cured, the timber post drops into the saddle and is bolted through the side plates.
