Tri-Brackets & Knee Braces
Our Tri Bracket assemblys are made from the beam components below and can be built to your specifications. The face or nose of the beam varies depending upon builder preference. Any combination of beam sizes may be incorporated. We have several popular designs below to give you some ideas of the posibilities. From the 2x4, 4x4, and the 4x6 beam choices( build your Tri Braket that compliments your project appropriately).
Considerations such as location, overhang, and facia reveal desired are important tin determining dimensions. Normal wood products when exposed to the extreme summer climates tend to split, warp, and deteriorate quickly. Our Tri Brackets are dimensionaly stable and will not warp, split, or crack when exposed to direct sunlight or moisture
Our Knee Braces can be purchased separately or pre assembled with a top and back board. The standard back board is 1” thick rough sawn stock. You may choose a different back board if you wish. Our knee braces are a perfect match to replace traditional wood braces because they won’t twist or crack.
Tri Bracket Assemblies
Tri Bracket Assemblies are similar to standard tri brackets in that they include a Outlooker, Backer Board and an Angled brace. However with a tri bracket assembly they will use larger or nonstandard elements for the outlooker or the angle brace. Often times a tri bracket assembly may use a Knee Brace for its angled brace or the outlooker will be larger than a 4” x 6” stock.
