Baseplate

Truss Baseplate Hire

It’s quite commonplace to make use of a ground support or standing truss construction. This is logical, considering how cost efficient and risk-free it is. However, you can't just place upright trusses on the ground. It will not only damage the materials, the pressure also won’t be well distributed. The best solution is to rent a baseplate. You may only need it to distribute the pressure evenly. However, it also prevents the need for any extra stability or sturdiness. The use of heavy baseplates or even ballast blocks in outdoor constructions is quite common. By using a baseplate or ballast block you create a larger supporting surface and make the construction heavier.
