Exposure to rain, humidity, salt, sunlight, and changing temperatures can affect performance, so products intended only for dry indoor locations should not be used outdoors. Contact between dissimilar metals may also contribute to corrosion in certain environments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview all measurements and manufacturer specifications before purchasing. Use compatible exterior-rated fasteners in the prescribed size, quantity, and locations, and attach hardware only to sound material. Avoid covering drainage paths or trapping moisture against wood. Decorative or light-duty products should not be assumed to provide structural capacity. Hardware cannot restore severely rotted, split, unstable, or undersized components. Elevated decks, guardrails, stairs, overhead structures, and other safety-critical assemblies should follow applicable building requirements and may require approved plans, permits, professional installation, or inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/0773\/7058\/collections\/06_Exterior_Hardware.png?v=1787389627","url":"https:\/\/fixtimber.us\/collections\/exterior-hardware.oembed","provider":"FixTimber","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
