Clear & Color Powder Coats
Our powder-coat finishes are scratch-resistant and rust-proof, so they don't need much care. Just be sure to touch up any exposed steel if you happen to drag them across rough surfaces such as pavers or scrape them with something sharp.
Raw Steel Care
Raw steel arrives with a thin layer of residue to protect it from rust while in transit. Sealing your raw steel with wax, paint, or a clear coat will keep it looking its best (or you can let it develop a natural rusted patina).
- Raw steel legs ship with wax for sealing
- Apply a rust-inhibitive clear coat rather than wax if using outdoors
- Sprayed finishes work best for paint or clear coat (use products that are suitable for metal)
Build Instructions
Build Instructions
You can attach your 3-Rod Hairpin Legs with just a few simple tools. With pre-formed holes, they're easy to attach. Here are a few basic steps to help you get started.
- Turn your surface upside down and use a tape measure to position your 3-Rod Hairpin Legs.
- Mark each base plate hole with a pencil, and remove the 3-Rod Hairpin Legs.
- Pre-drill a pilot hole over each pencil mark. (Pre-drilling makes things easier and helps avoid damaging your surface material. Marking your drill bit with a piece of tape will help ensure you don't drill too far.)
- Reposition your 3-Rod Hairpin Legs, and drive your screws/fasteners through the base plate holes into your surface.
- Confirm the 3-Rod Hairpin Legs are securely attached, then turn your project right side up. (Having someone help you lift larger projects will keep screws/fasteners from pulling away from your surface material.)
