Let me preface this by saying I don’t stick weld often.
I can do it, i know what a good sound weld looks like but I’m not being featured in any magazines…
That said, i have to cut this tower up, relocate it and put it back together.
I’d like to use 6013 because I just know I’ll make cleaner welds with it.
So that said, am i taking a risk on strength using 6013 to get nicer welds or is it a non concern in the application?
This tower is 6x6 3/16 wall tube. So it’s going have a good 24” of weld on each section.
Also, this thing is a death trap as it sits welding wise and has held up for 10+ years. No idea what hack did it the first time around. It’s got one weld on each piece…
This is a rope training tower and is being relocated to my current firehouse where I’m building the attached training center.
Oh and I hope everyone’s doing well, haven’t been around much
