The Maine Deck Bracket is designed to attach to decks, steps, signs, or any item to buildings. Protects against rotting and insect damage to sills and siding. Maine Deck Brackets allow attachments without creating openings or pockets for water, debris, or insects to enter. Brackets should always be mounted to a solid framing member, not to just sheathing or rotted framing. Failure of the mount could result. Deck and building construction should be in compliance with building codes. Recommended spacing for brackets is 4 feet, with a maximum of 8 feet spacing. Use 1/2" diameter bolts. Carriage bolts should be used where possible. Otherwise, use lag bolts that are penetrating into at least six (6) inches (150 cm) of SOLID wood. Be sure to use washers. DO NOT merely screw to siding, as this will lead to catastrophic failure, and possible injury or death. Solid T6 aluminum construction. Will not rust. Made in the USA. Application Details |
