The DIYUK narrow flat bracket is an essential structural component designed for woodworkers, carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts who need to reinforce or join timber with a low-profile, flush finish. Its slim 22mm width makes it perfect for compact timber sections where standard brackets might overhang, providing a reliable, long-lasting connection. While it offers excellent versatility for various repairs and construction tasks, users should note that its primary design is intended for indoor or sheltered outdoor environments, meaning it should not be exposed to direct, heavy weather conditions without additional protection.

They are suitable for sheltered outdoor use, but they are not recommended for direct, prolonged exposure to rain or harsh weather without additional protective coatings.
The bracket is designed to be slim for flush-fitting, but it is engineered for standard heavy-duty timber reinforcement.
Yes, the holes are sized to accommodate M5 bolts or masonry anchors, allowing for connection to brick or concrete surfaces.
You can use standard 4mm or 5mm wood screws, or 4mm ring-shank nails depending on the load requirements and material thickness.
This package contains 10 individual 250mm x 22mm narrow flat brackets.
Ensure the surface of the timber is planed flat; any debris or rough wood beneath the bracket will prevent it from sitting flush.
Always pre-drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the diameter of your chosen screw to reduce internal stress on the wood.
For optimal results, pre-drill your timber to prevent splitting, especially when working near the ends of boards. Ensure the bracket is positioned centrally across the joint before marking your holes. Use high-quality wood screws for timber-to-timber connections or M5 anchors if securing to a masonry wall. While the galvanic zinc coating resists rust, it is not stainless steel; for long-term use in damp indoor areas, you may choose to apply a thin coat of clear sealant over the final installation to further protect the finish from moisture ingress.
