Troubleshooting

Connector feels unstable after installation

Ensure you have used screws of sufficient length and gauge that fully engage with both the connector and the wood. Verify that the wooden posts are seated correctly within the connector slots.

Difficulty inserting screws into pre-drilled holes

Confirm that the screws being used are not wider than the 10 mm diameter of the pre-drilled holes. Ensure the screw heads are suitable for driving into wood.

Signs of rust or corrosion after outdoor use

While powder-coated, extreme conditions can expose the metal. Clean any rust spots and consider applying a suitable metal sealant or touch-up paint designed for outdoor use.
