Paintability of double channels
Paintability of double channels
(OP)
there is this disturbing "difficult to paint" problem when using double channels with spacer plates between plates, forming a built up column from double channels back to back.
Personally from statics point of view I prefer double channels lip to lip forming a box section though this one does give me more connection problems.
How do you pals go around this one?
Regards and thanx for support so far

RE: Paintability of double channels
For the same reason of paintability, double angle sections are often placed starred „¢„¤ rather than back-to-back „£„¤ .

If you are talking about shop painting, then dipping will solve the issue. Field painting will be largely unsuccessful.
Another option is to use weathering steel and use no paint.
