FAQs
What type of fasteners should I use?
Use appropriate structural screws or nails recommended for your specific timber type and the expected load. Consult local building codes for guidance.
Can this bracket be used for outdoor projects?
Yes, the galvanised steel construction makes it resistant to rot and corrosion, suitable for outdoor applications.
What is the material of the bracket?
The bracket is manufactured from strong and durable galvanised steel.
Does it come with screws or nails?
No, fasteners are typically sold separately. You will need to provide your own appropriate screws or nails.
Can this be used for structural load-bearing connections?
Yes, it is suitable for structural applications in framing, but the exact load capacity depends on the fasteners used and the overall structural design. Professional consultation may be required.
How do I clean the bracket?
Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised coating.
What is the primary angle for this bracket?
This bracket is designed for general joining of timbers at precisely 90 degrees.
Troubleshooting
Bracket doesn't sit flush
Ensure the timber surfaces are flat and free of debris. Check for any warping in the wood.
Joint feels wobbly
Verify that all designated holes have been used with appropriate fasteners. Ensure fasteners are fully driven and secure. Check timber for soundness.
Signs of rust appearing
This can occur if the galvanised coating is scratched or damaged. Clean the area and consider applying a rust-inhibiting paint or coating for protection.
