Quality mender to connect 4x4 for a flower bed
Would RecommendI bought this 160gauge tie plate to connect 4x4 treated wood around a flower bed. The 4x4 timber were attached to the ground using landscaping nails. Using this tie plate to mend the end of 4x4 together, then paint over the tie plate, it create a seamless connection of the wood. (Make sure you wash the tie plate with diluted white vinegar to remove the oil before painting it.)
