Product Description
OZCO OWT Ironwood 6" Truss Accent Plate — 2-Pack
- Finish your truss — Decorative plates that tie Ironwood truss connectors into a cohesive, showcase-ready look.
- Ironwood build — 3/16″ galvanized steel with a black powder coat for outdoor durability; ACQ-approved.
- Flexible placement — Works with Ironwood connector plates and across custom truss layouts.
- Kit simplicity — Includes plates and cap nuts; fastening bolts sold separately.
- Design match — Complements other Ironwood ties and hangers for consistent detailing.
Ironwood 6″ Truss Accent Plates add the finishing touch to exposed-connector trusses on pergolas, porches, and outdoor rooms. They bridge the visual gap between structural connector plates, creating a unified, intentional design language. Built from thick, galvanized steel and finished in weather-resistant black powder coat, these accents hold up in the same environments as the rest of the Ironwood hardware family. Use them to echo connector shapes or to cover fastener fields for a cleaner look. Because they’re part of the OWT system, they integrate seamlessly with your existing Ironwood hardware.
Lay out plate positions with your main connector plates and pre-mark hole locations. Fasten with OWT Timber Bolts or structural equivalents per your beam sizing and engineer’s guidance. For cohesive assemblies where beams carry seated loads, pair with Ironwood 6″ Beam Hangers. For diagonal bracing details at corners and hips, align your accents with 4″ Flush Inside 45° Angle Brackets to keep styling consistent across the structure.
