The brackets are made from 2.5mm thick galvanized steel, offering durability and corrosion resistance.
The set includes 20 L brackets and 80 screws.
Each bracket measures 40 x 40 x 16 mm.
Yes, the galvanized steel construction makes them suitable for outdoor use, such as in garden projects.
The included screws are generally suitable for most common woods. For hardwoods, it is recommended to pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting and ensure a secure fit.
Each bracket has 4 pre-drilled holes, each with a diameter of 5mm.
They provide precise 90-degree angle support, ideal for reinforcing corners of frames, shelves, and furniture.
Ensure you are using the correct type and size of screws for your material. For hardwoods, pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting and ensure a tighter fit. Check that the bracket is flush against the surfaces.
Verify that the surfaces you are attaching the bracket to are flat and properly positioned. Use a measuring tape and square to ensure accurate placement before fastening.
While galvanized, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions can cause surface rust. Clean the affected area with a wire brush and consider applying a metal-specific paint or sealant for added protection.
Setup: To set up, position the L bracket at the desired corner or joint. Utilize the pre-drilled 5mm holes for alignment. Use the provided screws (or appropriate fasteners for your material) to secure the bracket to the surfaces. For optimal results, particularly with hardwood, pre-drilling pilot holes slightly smaller than the screw diameter is recommended to prevent wood splitting and ensure a tight fit.
Compatibility: These brackets are designed for use with wood and similar timber materials. They are compatible with most standard screws and fasteners. Ensure the screw length is appropriate for the combined thickness of the bracket (2.5mm) and the material being fastened.
Care: To maintain the longevity of the brackets, especially in outdoor applications, occasional cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. While the galvanized coating offers corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or highly corrosive environments may impact the finish over time. Inspect periodically for any signs of wear or damage.
