• Building furniture or garden structures

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for use in highly corrosive environments, such as direct contact with saltwater or chemically aggressive substances, unless additional protective coatings are applied. It is also not suitable for applications requiring flexible or moving joints, as it is designed to provide rigid structural reinforcement.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 120x240 mm
• Thickness: 2 mm
• Material: High-quality steel
• Design: Pre-drilled perforated pattern

How to use

To use the Koelner perforated plate, position the plate over the joint where the two wooden elements meet. Ensure the surface is flat and stable before marking the hole positions if necessary. Secure the plate firmly to the timber using appropriate screws or nails that match the diameter of the pre-drilled holes. It is recommended to distribute fasteners evenly across the plate to ensure balanced load distribution and maximum structural strength.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the dimensions are appropriate for the size of the timber members being joined.
• Ensure the thickness of the plate meets the load-bearing requirements of your specific project.
• Check that the fasteners you intend to use are compatible with the hole diameters on the plate.

Usage recommendations

For optimal structural performance, always ensure that the timber is dry and free from rot before installation. Use high-quality, corrosion-resistant fasteners to maintain the longevity of the connection in outdoor or humid conditions.
