Installation
Dry-fit the plate at the truss or beam junction and mark fastener locations. Pre-drill if needed (dense species) and fasten into sound lumber with exterior-rated screws of appropriate length. For exposed faces, many builders finish with OWT cap hardware for a coordinated look. Always follow local code and engineering guidance for structural members; this plate is decorative and does not replace required structural connectors.
