Pergolas, Carports, Deck Substructure
- Structural screws – large-diameter structural screws for timber construction
- Metal connectors – joist hangers, brackets, plates and more
- Connector screws – screws for fixing metal connectors to timber
Build a stronger substructure from the connection up.
Whether you are building a deck, pergola, carport or another outdoor timber structure, the substructure needs reliable connections between beams, joists and posts.
This project category brings together the main products needed for structural timber connections: large structural screws, metal timber connectors and dedicated connector screws.
From joist hangers and angle brackets to rafter connectors, plates and structural straps, the right metal hardware makes timber connections faster, stronger and easier to assemble.
Connector Plates And Straps
Connector plates and short straps are hot-dip galvanized steel connectors used for joining, reinforcing, and stabilizing timber elements in both light and heavy structural applications. This category includes truss plates, perforated connector plates, and short connector straps up to 260 mm, providing versatile solutions for structural connections, repairs, and joint reinforcement.
Truss plates are primarily used in truss systems and prefabricated roof structures, ensuring rigid and efficient load transfer between timber members. This includes spiked plates, which feature stamped teeth that are pressed into the wood, creating a strong, fast, and highly effective connection without the need for multiple fasteners.
Perforated connector plates feature multiple holes or fastening patterns, allowing screw or nail connections and are commonly used for joint reinforcement and structural repairs. Short connector straps (up to 260 mm) are used for localized reinforcement of joints, extensions, and additional stabilization of timber elements.
These products are widely used in timber construction, roof framing, structural repairs, and applications where compact but strong reinforcement solutions are required.
