FAQs

Are screws included with the package?

No, screws are not included. You will need to purchase 5 mm compatible screws separately.

Can these be used outdoors?

Yes, the plates are designed with corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor applications, though regular maintenance is recommended.

What is the thickness of these plates?

These plates are 2 mm thick, providing a balance between flexibility and structural rigidity.

How many holes are on each plate?

Each plate features 12 pre-drilled 5 mm holes arranged in a staggered pattern.

Are these suitable for structural roof work?

These are primarily for furniture, shelving, and general timber framing. Always consult a structural engineer for load-bearing roof or major building construction.

Troubleshooting

Plate creates a gap between wooden surfaces

Ensure the wood surface is perfectly flat and free of debris. If the wood is warped, use clamps to pull the surfaces tight before screwing the plate into place.

Screws do not sit flush

Ensure you are using countersunk screws if you require a flush finish, and ensure the screw head size is compatible with the 5 mm diameter of the plate holes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable 2 mm steel construction provides long-lasting stability
  • Staggered hole pattern improves overall structural integrity
  • Suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor timber projects
  • Pre-drilled holes simplify the installation process

Cons

  • Screws are not included in the purchase
  • The 5 mm hole size restricts the type of screw gauge you can use
  • Fixed dimensions may not be suitable for all custom structural requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these plates, ensure the wooden surface is clean and level. Position the plate over the joint, mark the holes, and pilot drill the wood to prevent splitting. Use compatible 5 mm wood screws (sold separately) to attach the plate firmly.

Regarding compatibility, these plates work best with softwood and hardwood timber. For outdoor use, while the plates feature corrosion-resistant finishes, consider applying an additional protective sealant if you live in high-salinity or heavy-rainfall environments. Periodically check the tightness of the screws after the first few months, as wood may shrink or swell with seasonal humidity changes.
