Slotted Fence Posts for Shelter Ground Resting Foundations & Strength Test. Slotted Crank Bent Arm Post Idea For Hexayurt

Slotted Fence Posts for Shelter Ground Resting Foundations & Strength Test. Slotted Crank Bent Arm Post Idea For Hexayurt

 slotted crank arms posts (post with bent top on the right in pic 1) may be able to be joined together to form a base together to form a hexayurt type shelter base, The angle looks  the same , but a web sch or mnftr email has not confirmed.

Rebar loops could be used to secure further to the ground

Strength Test for slotted fence post of 150 kg added weight , 9m suspended from edge of both ends. small cracks appears but no failure. (see pic)

Idea was to establish whether galv. purlin was needed underneath to support. I think this is best as if beam cracks,  galn metal skin will contain it & it still function in compression
