Troubleshooting

Clamp does not securely fasten to timber.

Ensure the timber is sound and not rotten. Use appropriate length and gauge screws or nails suitable for the timber thickness. Check that the clamp is correctly aligned before fastening.

Profile is not fitting snugly into the clamp.

Verify the profile's dimensions match one of the clamp's compatible sizes (40mm, 50mm, 50.8mm). Check for any debris or obstructions within the clamp's profile arm.

Visible signs of rust or corrosion.

While zinc plating offers protection, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can cause surface rust. Clean the affected area and consider applying a suitable metal primer and paint for added protection if corrosion is significant.
