Outdoor Accents
®
gable plates add decorative flair and strength
to any outdoor living space. They provide reinforcement when
you’re connecting a wood beam to three angled wood braces.
Three sizes are available, with the angled braces at 6:12 pitch
(27°), 8:12 pitch (34°) and 12:12 pitch (45°). Gable plates are
easily installed with Outdoor Accents structural wood screws
and hex-head washers.
Connect Beams with Flat Straps
This strap works for lumber in both nominal and rough sizes. It
can be used to connect two beams together or added to any
project as a decorative accent.
Connect Beam to Columns with Strap Ties
The flat T and L strap ties bring decorative flair and structural strength to your outdoor living space or even an indoor project.
They provide reinforcement for connections where two pieces of lumber intersect at a 90° angle. These strap ties are designed to
accommodate multiple lumber sizes and to be installed with Outdoor Accents structural wood screws and hex-head washers.
