FAQs

What type of screws should I use with these angle brackets?

You can use wood screws with diameters of ø6 or ø10. For smaller holes, ø5 screws are compatible. Ensure the screw length is appropriate for the combined thickness of the materials you are joining.

Are these brackets suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the heavy-duty galvanised steel construction with a Z275 hot-dip zinc coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Do the brackets come with screws or bolts?

No, the angle brackets are sold separately from mounting hardware. You will need to select and purchase appropriate nails, screws, bolts, or anchors based on your specific project requirements.

What are the dimensions of the bracket?

The product description mentions various sizes, including 40x40x40x2mm, 60x60x60x2mm, 40x40x60x2mm, and 40x40x200x2mm. Please check the specific product listing for the exact dimensions of the bracket you are purchasing.

Can these brackets be used in steel-framed structures?

Yes, these reinforced angle brackets are suitable for structural applications in both timber and steel-framed structures.

What is the thickness of the steel used?

The steel used for these angle braces is T2.0mm thick.

Are there different pack sizes available?

Yes, some listings indicate pack sizes, such as 'Pack of 4'.

Troubleshooting

Bracket does not sit flush

Ensure the surfaces being joined are flat and free from debris. Check for any manufacturing imperfections on the bracket or the materials.

Fasteners do not align with holes

Verify that the correct size and type of fastener is being used for the bracket's pre-drilled holes. Ensure the bracket is positioned correctly.

Corrosion appears over time

While galvanised, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extremely corrosive environments can eventually affect the coating. Clean the affected area and consider applying a protective sealant if necessary.

Joint feels weak after installation

Ensure an adequate number of fasteners have been used and that they are properly tightened. Double-check that the bracket size and thickness are appropriate for the load-bearing requirements of the joint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability and corrosion resistance due to galvanised steel construction.
  • High versatility for a wide range of construction, woodworking, and DIY applications.
  • Designed to meet European quality and safety standards.
  • Supports structural integrity in various timber and steel frameworks.
  • Easy to install with commonly available tools and fasteners.

Cons

  • Mounting hardware (screws, bolts, nails) is not included and must be purchased separately.
  • The T2.0mm thickness may not be sufficient for extremely heavy-duty industrial applications without proper engineering assessment.
  • Specific bracket dimensions (e.g., 40x40x40x2mm, 60x60x60x2mm) require careful selection based on project needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select Appropriate Fasteners: Choose screws, bolts, or nails that are compatible with the bracket's mounting holes (ø4 for nails, ø5 for screws, ø6/ø10 for wood screws, M10/M12 for bolts/anchors) and suitable for the materials being joined.
  2. Position Bracket: Place the angle bracket at the desired corner or joint, ensuring it sits flush against both surfaces.
  3. Mark Holes: Lightly mark the drilling points through the bracket's holes.
  4. Drill Holes: If required, drill pilot holes for screws or use appropriate anchors for concrete.
  5. Secure Bracket: Fasten the bracket firmly using the selected hardware.

Compatibility:

  • Materials: Compatible with timber, wood, steel, and concrete (when using appropriate anchors).
  • Fasteners: Works with nails (ø4), screws (ø5, ø6, ø10), bolts (M10, M12), and concrete anchors (M10, M12).

Care:

The galvanised coating provides excellent corrosion resistance. For general maintenance, simply wipe the brackets clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the protective zinc layer. Inspect periodically for any signs of extreme wear or damage.
