Here are the general steps to install galvanized steel strapping:
-
Measure the length of the area where you want to install the steel strapping, and cut the strapping to the appropriate length using tin snips or a hacksaw.
-
Position the strapping against the surface that you want to attach it to, ensuring that it is straight and level. Use a level to make sure that the strapping is not crooked.
-
Mark the locations where you want to attach the strapping to the surface using a pencil or marker.
-
Drill holes at the marked locations using a drill with a metal bit. The size of the hole should be slightly smaller than the size of the screw or nail that you will use to attach the strapping.
-
Secure the strapping to the surface using screws or nails. If you are using screws, use a screwdriver or power drill to insert them into the drilled holes. If you are using nails, hammer them into the drilled holes.
-
If you need to connect multiple lengths of strapping together, overlap the ends of the strapping by a few inches and secure them with a metal strap or bracket.
-
Repeat the process to install additional lengths of strapping as needed, ensuring that each piece is securely attached to the surface and properly aligned.
Note: Before installing galvanized steel strapping, it is important to ensure that the surface you are attaching it to is clean and free of any debris or loose material. This will help ensure a strong and secure attachment. Additionally, be sure to wear appropriate safety equipment such as gloves and eye protection while handling and installing the strapping.
