This collection brings together connectors commonly used in wood-frame homes, decks, porches, sheds, fences, workshops, and other timber assemblies. Explore joist hangers, post bases, post caps, angle brackets, corner braces, mending plates, tie straps, and connectors for beams, rafters, and trusses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructural hardware varies by dimensions, configuration, metal thickness, finish, corrosion resistance, fastener pattern, material compatibility, and rated application. Some products are intended for interior framing, while others may be suitable for exterior exposure or contact with preservative-treated lumber. Choosing the correct connector requires consideration of member sizes, load direction, environmental conditions, wood species, and the design of the overall assembly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview the manufacturer’s specifications before purchasing or installation. Use only the approved nails, screws, bolts, or anchors in the required quantity and locations; substituting ordinary fasteners can reduce performance. Do not bend, cut, enlarge, or modify a connector unless the manufacturer expressly permits it. Structural hardware is not a universal repair for split, decayed, undersized, or improperly supported lumber. Connections affecting decks, roofs, beams, posts, railings, or occupied structures should follow applicable plans and building requirements and may require professional design, permits, or inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/0773\/7058\/collections\/04_Structural_Hardware.png?v=1787389591","url":"https:\/\/fixtimber.us\/collections\/structural-hardware.oembed","provider":"FixTimber","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
