A common technique that is used with lamp posts and commercial construction:
The plate is welded reasonably close to square.
Nuts are put on the anchor bolts on BOTH sides of the plate.
The nuts are used to adjust the column to plumb. Simple, and allows for a multitude of sins, from a non-level floor to warped plate or bowed columns.
When sitting at a stop light check out how the metal lamp post is connected to its concrete footing....the double nut method is everywhere. |
