Yes, the galvanized finish provides excellent corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor environments.
No, the package includes 10 flat joining plates only; mounting screws must be purchased separately.
We recommend using wood screws with a shank diameter of 4 mm to 4.5 mm for an optimal fit in the 5 mm holes.
Yes, but you should use a metal-bonding primer first to ensure the paint adheres correctly to the galvanized surface.
Each plate is 2 mm thick, designed for high-strength wood construction.
Ensure you are using pilot holes before driving screws into the timber.
Verify that the screw heads are compatible with the plate thickness and are not 'bottoming out' before fully tightening against the metal.
Installation requires only basic hand tools, such as a screwdriver or a power drill, and a measuring tape for precise alignment. Ensure the surface is level and flush before positioning the plate. When selecting fasteners, choose wood screws with a 4 mm to 4.5 mm diameter to ensure a tight fit within the 5 mm pre-drilled holes. To maintain the integrity of the joints, periodically check the screws for tightness, especially if used in outdoor environments where wood expansion and contraction occur. Wipe the plates with a dry cloth periodically to remove dust or debris, which helps maintain the life of the galvanized coating.
