How It Compares
Compared With Screw-fixed corner braces
A bolted slot lets the timber move slightly without tearing out the fixing, which is what usually fails in an outdoor frame.
Use Guide
- Use carriage bolts with a washer under the nut so the slot is not deformed.
- Specify hot dipped galvanized where the brace is permanently exposed to weather.
