Steel goalpost frame drawings (for large openings)
A 'goalpost' frame - two posts and a beam - is the usual way to form a wide opening or wrap-around extension. I detail the frame for fabrication from your engineer's calcs.
What the drawing set includes
- Goalpost GA (beam + posts)
- Moment or pinned connection details
- Base plates & holding-down bolts
- Padstone / bearing interfaces
- Marking plan
How it works
- Send the engineer's calcs + plans
- GA for approval
- Fabrication + connection details
- Revisions to build-ready
Building Regs
Goalpost frames are structural - engineer sizes the members and connections, I detail them.
Questions
What's a goalpost frame?
Two columns and a beam forming a rigid opening - common for knock-throughs, bi-fold openings and rear extensions.
