If it's not welded anywhere, and bolted instead. Do the bolts ever come loose? Is it easy to jack a ladder up there and tighten it back up? LOL Couple tornados come through, I can see those bolts and whatnot loosening up eventually.
More than 25 years of installation and disassembling of steel I can say bolted hardware was found tight never loose unless it was left loose during installation, and bolts will always prevail over welding because it allows some movement of the structure without damaging the metal
Thanks for your interest! To ensure both ease of use and safety, we specialize in pre-engineered 'bolt-up' kits. Our designs meet, and often exceed, industry standards. Selling raw steel would pose quality assurance challenges, especially if welding or part placements are incorrect. While we do offer welded versions, these are limited to local full and shell builds. Your understanding is much appreciated!
Love your channel and 1845 content. One suggestion, it would help the audio experience quite a bit if you had "podcast" or some sort of microphone setup. The echo in that room is distracting. Just a suggestion!
Good information but please wear mic's. Your intros are very clear but once the meat of the video starts it is harder to hear...
Noted, we are working on building an actual podcast room! Thanks for watching!
