WPC post for outdoor Pergola | WPC Beam for Grape trellis made of WPC
Let’s take a look at the WPC column and WPC Beam.
This product is mainly used in the construction industry, such as fences, railings,Pergola,Pavilion etc.
It is made of wood plastic composite materials, which not only has the texture and color of natural wood, but also has the strength and durability of plastic.
Therefore, the WPC Beam and Post is both environmentally friendly and durable, and has become the new darling of the construction industry.
In actual use, the WPC Post and Beam has won the favor of users with its unique advantages.
For example, it will not rot or deform as easily as traditional wooden columns, and it does not require too much maintenance work.
In addition, due to its good plasticity, the WPC Post and Beam can also be customized according to design requirements to meet the needs of different occasions.
We will discuss the conventional sizes of WPC Post in detail.
Generally speaking, the common sizes of WPC columns on the market include: square, round and special shapes.
The sizes of square Post are usually 120mm×120mm, 150mm×150mm, 200mm×200mm, etc.
These sizes can meet the needs of most Pergola.
The diameter of round columns is generally between 75mm and 100mm, and they are selected according to specific needs.
In addition, there are some special shapes of WPC Post, such as I-shaped, etc., and their sizes will be customized according to the design drawings.
WPC post is a new type of building materials, made of wood flour, plastic and other materials mixed and pressed.
This kind of Post is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has high strength and can withstand great pressure.
At the same time, due to the stability of its internal structure, it can maintain stability in a variety of environments.
When building a pergola, it is a wise choice to choose WPC Post as supports.
On the one hand, the high strength and high stability of WPC Post enable it to bear the weight of vines well and ensure the stability of the pergola.
On the other hand, the corrosion resistance and weather resistance of WPC Posts also enable it to be used for a long time in outdoor environments without deformation or damage due to wind, rain or sun.
Advantages of WPC post and WPC beams in Pergola applications
(1) Beautiful: WPC Post and WPC beams have natural wood grain texture and rich color options, which can be coordinated with the surrounding environment and enhance the overall aesthetics.
(2) Durability: WPC Post and WPC beams have high anti-aging, anti-corrosion, and anti-insect properties, can be used outdoors for a long time, and are not easily affected by moisture, deformation or cracking.
(3) Good stability: The structure of WPC Post and WPC beams is stable, can withstand large loads and wind pressure, and is not prone to deformation or tilt.
WPC post is connected to the ground through square steel embedded iron.WPC posts often adopt a hollow design with an inner hole in the middle for reinforcement.Insert the square steel base into the square hole in the middle of the WPC post. The square steel base is easier to connect firmly to the foundation than the WPC post.The square steel base allows the weight above to be distributed underground,thus avoiding problems caused by torque and pressure.
Does WPC beam also require square steel? Applying square steel to WPC load-bearing beams can significantly enhance the overall load-bearing capacity and stability of the structure.
Especially when load-bearing beams need to bear large concentrated loads or have large spans, adding square steel becomes an effective means to improve structural performance.
WPC materials combine the natural properties of wood fiber with the durability of plastic. They are made through high-temperature extrusion molding technology. They not only retain the beauty of wood, but also overcome the shortcomings of wood that is easy to rot, flammable, and crack.
This material not only looks similar to natural wood, but its physical properties even exceed those of traditional wood in some aspects, such as good dimensional stability, and are not prone to cracks and warping.
In practical applications, WPC post and beams are widely used in outdoor spaces due to their excellent performance, such as pavilions, decorative panels, pergolas and signboards.
These products not only have good waterproof and fireproof properties, but can also withstand the challenges of the natural environment and extend their service life.
Especially for columns and beams used outdoors, they usually need to have higher weather resistance and strength, and WPC materials just meet these requirements.
