A lot of guys do have the speedrail leveling system although our crew is a little more down and dirty (mostly dirty). I like the center board but we don't use one ( I usually push from the side anyway). We also don't use the joiner plates. The basic beams, however are the same. (By "we" I mean my particular crew and the other guys I have worked with).Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466991423411721535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-331934398901215142008-02-03T16:22:00.000-08:002008-02-03T16:22:00.000-08:00do you have any pictures of your beams?are they li...do you have any pictures of your beams?<BR/>are they like this?<BR/><BR/>http://www.ronfordbaker.co.uk/applebeams.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-71460315400019290452008-02-02T19:36:00.000-08:002008-02-02T19:36:00.000-08:00Thailand.

Within minutes, the anchor ropes were covered with enormous fire ants. My husband said that was the worst location he's ever been on.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193554132706114108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-74466561417998300082008-02-02T16:31:00.000-08:002008-02-02T16:31:00.000-08:00The plastic inserts are great.

All of ours are upwards of 10-12 years old and are starting to go just from years in the weather.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466991423411721535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-75250601956843277902008-02-02T13:07:00.000-08:002008-02-02T13:07:00.000-08:00I'll second the Aluma beams!

Looking to replace the wood inserts and I have seen it done with UHMWS (?) or recycled plastic. Better holding strength and less splinters. Just can't find a local dealer (outside of local plastics suppliers that want and arm and a leg).Azurgriphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06782192437325161681noreply@blogger.com
