The 2 wheel nylon roller hooks are rated for 40lbs each and the 2 wheel steel roller hooks are rated for 75lbs each. How much weight can the roller hooks support? The maximum load rating for a single point in between track supports 3 feet apart is 175 pounds. Rated to support a load of up to 100 pounds per linear foot when the load is evenly distributed between track supports that are spaced 3 feet or less. The corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanizing varies according to its surroundings but generally corrodes at a rate of 1/30 of bare steel in the same environment. The track is Hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) which is often used to protect steel from corrosion in some of the harshest environments imaginable, yet it provides maintenance-free longevity for decades. Will the track rust? Can it be used in wet environments? If you have any difficulty simply call or email us and we will walk you through the process.

If you have a relatively light weight curtain then you could space the supports out to about 8' apart. The farther apart the track supports, the greater the deflection.

The track should be supported approximately every 5' with a track support. How close together do I need the track supports? The track is modular in design and will arrive in pieces that slip together and bolt together with set screws. If that is too long then simply cut the track onsite and the radius will still work. So if you input 10' for curtain length you will end up with 12' when you attach the radius corner. How much width does the radius corner add to the length?Ī radius corner has a 2' radius. Yes, the track is made to be field cut on site using a hack saw or sawzall. Can the track be cut to size as required on site?
