Building a new project is an exciting endeavour, no matter what you plan on doing. Obsessing over colours, materials and the overall design is a months-long process that, if everything goes to plan, begins the beautiful realization of your dream outdoor space.
That said, with the excitement of building the bigger things, the smaller details can fall by the wayside–seemingly unimportant things like fasteners, shims and rail connectors.
Or maybe you built your deck ten years ago and those original fasteners are rusty and you’re starting to notice alignment or spacing issues.
No matter what your situation is, the smaller pieces of hardware, the shims, fasteners and rail connectors, that make up your deck and greater outdoor space are increasingly important as time passes. According to LBM Journal, “Investing in premium fastening solutions results in higher-quality, longer-lasting decking projects.”
Our Options for the Hidden Heroes of your Projects
- Rail Connectors for 2 x 4: That’s why our rail connectors are made from black, rigid plastic or metal and their minimal design compliments any space. In addition to superb build quality and design, the installation process is simple and prevents toenailing for a more secure project.
- Shims: Broadfix outdoor shims, similarly, are the perfect solution for any of your alignment or spacing needs.
Fasteners & Screws: Our fasteners and screws are an elegant and corrosion-resistant solution for your new project. Their minimal design ensures they’ll blend into your project, while their built-to-last construction means they’ll last for seasons to come.
Consciously choosing to place more importance on these smaller pieces of hardware will greatly improve the longevity of your space and keep you and your family safe at the same time. And that goes for years-old projects or the one that you plan on building next weekend.
