KINDORF® METAL FRAMING SYSTEM METAL FRAMING CHANNEL & ACCESSORIES
When a beam rests on a ledge of other material (such
as a wall) the long flange should extend upward.
Right Angle beams are at their strongest when
assembled with the long flange downward. Vertical
columns may be in either direction. Place short flange
of vertical column in front for shelving to permit
Variety of combinations to meet needs
Greater strength is obtained by joining sections of
Right Angle in various combinations for beams
and columns. See the load charts on page B-90 for
the combination that best suits your need.

Procedure for laying out structure
1. Measure the space
Right Angle structures may be built to the size
of the space available. Measure the space and make
a sketch of the area.
2. Sketch the Planned Structure
Sketch the structure you plan to build listing all
height of all sections so that load limits can be
calculated safely.
3. Plan flange direction
Right Angle beams are at their strongest position
with the long flange downward. Vertical uprights
may be in either direction for equal strength.
Be sure to measure the material to be shelved to
allow space for handling. Your sketch will also
be used as a cutting and assembly plan.
4. Assembling the structure
Follow your plan for cutting sections and for layout.
Assemble the structure as a series of frames,
or bays and bolt together as units. Use as many
bolts as possible and turn nuts up finger-tight.
Square-up and level the entire structure. Proceed to
tighten bolts with wrench, starting with corners
to assure permanent squareness. Use diagonal
bracing, if necessary. Add shelves.
Your Right Angle structure is ready for a
useful lifetime.
