Good To Know

Q: Are these brackets suitable for ground contact? A: The galvanized coating provides good corrosion resistance, but for direct ground contact, consider additional treatment or stainless steel.

Q: Do I need special fasteners for installation? A: Standard joist hanger nails or galvanized deck screws work fine; ensure fasteners penetrate both the bracket and wood.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
