Yes, the Z275 hot-dip galvanised coating provides excellent protection against moisture and corrosion in outdoor environments.
No, they feature a smooth, non-embossed surface, allowing for installation from either the inside or outside of a joint.
They are constructed from durable DX51D steel with a hot-dip Z275 zinc coating.
Ensure the timber joints are tight before installing and use the maximum number of screws allowed by the bracket's hole pattern.
No, this product includes the brackets only. You should select screws suitable for the material you are fastening to, such as treated timber screws.
Ensure that the fasteners used are the correct diameter for the holes and that they are driven fully into the substrate.
This is often 'white rust' common on zinc-coated steel in humid areas; clean with a soft brush and apply a galvanised spray coating.
To install, position the bracket over the joint and use the pre-drilled holes to secure it to your framing material. Always ensure the timber is level before tightening screws to avoid internal stress. For the best performance, use galvanized screws or nails that are compatible with the bracket's hole diameter to minimize play. While the brackets are resistant to corrosion, it is recommended to inspect them every 12-24 months if used in high-moisture outdoor areas. If you notice any signs of white oxidation or surface rust, treat the affected area with a cold-galvanizing spray to maintain the integrity of the protective layer.
