Simple reinforcement for wood-to-wood joints
Would RecommendThese plates helped fulfill the need for extra stability where my 4x4s met. They are made with quality galvanized steel that won't rust outdoors. They provided a quick solution for reinforcing the foundation joints. My verdict is that they are an essential, low-cost "insurance policy" for any timber frame project.
