Product Details

I-beams are fundamental structural components in sidewalk sheds, providing essential support and stability. Their “I” shape, with horizontal flanges and a vertical web, offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, enabling them to bear significant loads while minimizing material use.

In sidewalk sheds, I-beams are typically used as primary horizontal members to create the overhead protection system. They span across the vertical post legs, effectively distributing the weight of debris and workers above, and safely transferring these loads down to the ground. This robust design is crucial for protecting pedestrians below and ensuring the overall integrity of the temporary structure.
