Introduction to the installation steps of PVC guardrails

 

 

1.PVC guardrails are made of reinforced steel materials, so during the installation process, steel linings for the posts are required. During this process, the design dimensions of the spacing between the steel liners need to be unified and consistent. Only in this way can the semi-finished products and pre-assembled parts be successfully connected.

 

2. Next, the installation of the horizontal and vertical guardrails will be carried out. After the steel linings are installed and connected at equal intervals, the installation of the load-bearing points will begin, mainly the installation of reinforcing accessories. The reinforcing accessories must be installed properly; otherwise, the guardrail won't be able to withstand the wind and rain. Moreover, at the construction site, it is necessary to fix it well. The connection between the horizontal lining of the guardrail and the posts needs to be fixed.

 

3.Before installing PVC guardrails, it is necessary to stabilize the foundation, as the guardrails need to be fixed under cement or soil. So when installing guardrails, the foundation must be stable. Generally, mechanical expansion bolts and chemical screw checks can be used for fixation. The main task is to fix the bottom plate of the steel liner of the column. Fixation means to evenly distribute it in a straight line at the center of the lower foundation.

 

4. Adjust the reference. On the straight-line distance, perform a full-section pull. The upper and lower limits need to have two parallel lines. This way, it can be ensured that after installation, the upper and lower ends of the guardrail are straight.

 

Precautions for PVC guardrails

When installing, if the foundation is unstable or there is no lower foundation yet. The steel liner of the column can be embedded into the wall, and it should be buried deeper. It is also possible to choose to weld the column steel bars and embedded parts by electric welding, which will make the guardrail more solid. However, when installing in this way, it is essential to pay attention to the horizontal line of the guardrail. And the guardrails should be kept within the same straight line.

The installation steps and precautions of PVC guardrails have been explained. Have you all learned how to install them after reading? PVC guardrails are a relatively common type of guardrail. Nowadays, most guardrails adopt PVC guardrails, especially those in flower beds in parks. PVC guardrails are harder than ordinary plastic guardrails. Compared with wooden guardrails, they are less prone to erosion and have a relatively long service life.
