Great video, very useful. Thank you. Will you please describe how you bolted the wood to the steel? What type of bolts, stainless? did you countersink the heads? Through the flange I guess, right? How many bolts? Appreciate it!
Countersunk stainless bolts through the wood and through the aluminum I beam. I placed a piece of thick rubber mat (horse stall mat) between the board and the I-beam, this is to keep the wood from ever actually contacting the aluminum as treated wood has metals in it that will cause aluminum to corrode. Stainless and aluminum (bolts) can touch as they are compatible but the copper in the treated wood will corrode aluminum

I like the way you did this - very much how I would do it if I had a big world cat. Landers always have the most informative videos.
Did your I-beam endplates come with your I-beams, what is the material and thickness?
Yes they were already bolted on. I believe they are just 1/4” angle pieces bolted direct to
