Product Information
Full details
The TIMCO 50 x 50mm Angle Bracket (5050AB) is an essential hardware solution for professional carpenters, DIY enthusiasts, and construction contractors looking to reinforce timber-to-timber connections. These brackets provide robust structural support for framing, sheds, and general carpentry repairs, ensuring long-term rigidity. While they offer superior strength through their 2mm thick carbon steel construction, users should note that they require appropriate fasteners to match the specific application requirements, as fasteners are not included in the pack.

FAQs
Are these brackets suitable for use in coastal areas?
The galvanised finish offers good corrosion resistance; however, in high-salt environments, regular inspection is recommended to monitor for potential surface rust.
Can I use these for deck construction?
Yes, they are suitable for general timber framing in decking, but ensure the timber being used is compatible with the galvanized coating to avoid chemical reactions.
What size screws should I use?
The size depends on the thickness of your timber, but ensure the screw head is slightly larger than the hole diameter and long enough to provide deep thread engagement.
Are the brackets load-rated?
While these are high-quality structural brackets, specific load-bearing certifications should be checked against local building codes if used in critical structural primary supports.
How many brackets come in a pack?
This product is supplied as a 25-pack, providing sufficient quantity for typical frame reinforcement projects.
Troubleshooting
Bracket shifts during installation
Secure the bracket temporarily using a single nail in one of the central holes before fully fastening the remaining screws.
Screw heads protruding too far
Ensure you are using the correct gauge of screws that fit comfortably within the pre-drilled holes to allow for a flush fit.
Visible signs of white oxidation
Lightly brush off any surface salts and re-apply a cold galvanising spray if the protective finish has been scratched deep enough to expose raw metal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic woodworking tools such as a measuring tape, hammer, screwdriver or impact driver, and a level. For maximum structural integrity, ensure that the bracket sits flush against both timber surfaces.
- Positioning: Align the bracket so it seats firmly against the corner junction of your timber members.
- Pilot Holes: If using thicker screws to prevent timber splitting, it is recommended to drill pilot holes into the wood.
- Fastening: Use suitable wood screws or ring-shank nails to fill the pre-punched holes, ensuring the bracket remains stationary under load.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect the brackets for loose fasteners, particularly in outdoor environments where wood expansion and contraction occur due to humidity. While the galvanised coating is durable, avoid using highly abrasive chemical cleaners that could damage the protective layer.
