Levi’s Building Components is now the exclusive distributor for The Uplift Plate post-frame anchoring system.
The Uplift Plate was created by Bill Keller to significantly improve the strength, durability, simplicity of post-frame anchoring.
For years, post-frame builders relied on rebar to anchor frame posts in concrete, which required time-consuming drilling and bit changes. With Uplift Plate, builders simply hammer the plates onto the post and it’s ready to set into the ground for the concrete pour.
“We like to use Uplift Plates because they are an easy, fast way to provide additional uplift protection on posts,” said Sylvan Stoltzfus the owner of Timberline Buildings. “Rather than cutting wood blocks or drilling holes and cutting rebar, we take the plate and with a hammer attach it at the bottom of the post. The Uplift Plates allow us more clearance to easily maneuver the post in the hole.”
A study conducted by a certified, professional engineer compared the strength and durability of both rebar and Uplift Plate in concrete. The study concluded Uplift Plate was three times stronger than rebar with its anchoring capabilities.
Currently Uplift Plate is sold exclusively at Levi’s Building Components and its distributors. For more information on Uplift Plate or to place an order, please call 717-656-7020 or visit www.levisbuildingcomponents.com.
