Connectors

Connectors play a fundamental role in any structure where different materials meet or where critical load paths must be supported. Whether you are working with timber beams, concrete walls or mixed material frames, the right connector helps ensure joint integrity, correct alignment and long term stability. On this page you’ll find a wide range of connectors to suit timber to timber, timber to concrete or masonry, post and column top connections as well as specialist brackets from trusted manufacturers.

In timber construction, the use of structural timber connectors ensures that joints transmit load effectively and safely. For example, the timber to timber and timber to concrete connector category covers heavy duty joist hangers, angle brackets, concealed hooks and post base connectors which provide secure connections from wood members into masonry or concrete substrates. Such connectors are designed to enhance bolt performance and to distribute loads over the timber rather than relying purely on traditional bolts or screws. When choosing a connector, you should consider factors such as the load direction, whether it is under tension, compression or shear, and the exposure conditions such as whether corrosion resistance is required.

One of the great benefits of using properly engineered connectors is the way they combine structural strength with flexibility of construction. For instance, when you are using them in post and column top connections, or in canopy and porch kits where timber meets bespoke joinery, the right connector helps maintain alignment and prevents movement under variable loads such as wind or snow. In façade or canopy applications they also allow for clean finishes where brackets may be hidden or integrated. Many of the connectors we stock therefore cater for both high performance framing needs and aesthetic demands for visible joinery.

In short, investing in quality connectors from a dedicated specialist supplier helps you achieve safe, reliable structures with a clean finish and long service life. Whether you are planning a timber frame building, installing a post support system or building a canopy structure, the correct connector can make a significant difference.
