What Exactly Does an Angle Bracket for Timber Connector Do and Why Is It Crucial?
2025-12-08
When I first started in construction, I underestimated the humble Angle Bracket of Timber Connector. Now, at Cangzhou Shengsen Metal Products Co., Ltd., I understand it's the silent guardian of structural integrity. Simply put, an Angle Bracket of Timber Connector is a metal plate bent at a 90-degree angle, used to join two timber members (like a wall plate to a joist or a post to a beam) securely and at a right angle. Its primary role is to provide crucial lateral support, resist shear forces, and prevent unwanted movement or rotation in timber frameworks. In our product line, it's a cornerstone of reliability.
The using effect of a high-quality bracket is profound. It transforms a simple timber overlap into a robust, engineered joint. In my experience, the right bracket ensures that structures remain square, stable, and capable of handling dynamic loads—from the weight of a roof to the force of wind. The importance and function cannot be overstated: these connectors are vital for safety, longevity, and compliance with building codes. They distribute stress, minimize wood splitting, and are essential for modern timber construction, from decks to complex wooden buildings.

FAQ
Q: How do I choose the right size Angle Bracket of Timber Connector?
A: Consider the timber dimensions and load. The bracket arm should cover a substantial area on each timber piece. For heavy loads, opt for a larger bracket and thicker gauge like our SS-AB90-250.
Q: Why are the holes in your brackets shaped differently?
A: The combination of round and elongated slots allows for easier installation and minor adjustments during assembly, while also accommodating wood's natural expansion and contraction.
Q: Can I use standard screws with your brackets?
A: For optimal performance, we always recommend using the specified timber connector screws or bolts. They are designed with superior shear strength to match the capacity of the Angle Bracket of Timber Connector, ensuring a complete, high-performance system.
