The DIYUK LP5 Flat Joining Plate is designed for builders, contractors, and serious DIY enthusiasts who require a heavy-duty, reliable solution for structural timber connections. These plates excel at reinforcing roof trusses, decking, and pergolas by providing superior mechanical strength and long-term corrosion resistance, though users should ensure their project dimensions align with the specific 2.5mm plate thickness for flush mounting requirements.

Yes, the LP5 plates are made from hot-dip galvanised steel, making them highly resistant to corrosion in outdoor settings.
The plates are constructed from 2.5mm thick DX51D galvanised steel.
Yes, they are CE certified and conform to PN-EN 14545 standards.
Yes, you can apply a suitable metal primer followed by an exterior-grade paint if you need to match a specific color scheme.
No, fasteners are not typically included. You should choose structural screws or nails that are compatible with your specific timber project.
It is a European standard for timber structures, specifically for dowel-type fasteners and structural connectors, ensuring the product meets safety and reliability benchmarks.
Check the timber for high spots or debris and sand the surface flat before re-mounting.
Verify that you are using the correct diameter screw or nail for the specific hole pattern and ensure they are driven fully into the timber.
To install, ensure the timber surface is flat and clear of debris. Position the plate over the joint, ensuring centered alignment, and secure with structural timber screws or nails appropriate for the hole diameter. While the galvanisation offers high rust resistance, regular visual inspections are recommended for outdoor installations to check for any fastener loosening due to timber movement. Keep the plates clean and avoid using acidic cleaners that may damage the protective zinc coating. For longevity in coastal regions, ensure fasteners are also stainless steel or similarly corrosion-resistant to prevent galvanic reaction.
