A clean central junction for your timber frame

Bring four horizontal beams together above a supporting post, without a roof pitch built into the connector. T51010OPEN combines one vertical arm with four straight horizontal arms for a level, five-arm junction.

Why choose OPEN?

The open design lets you insert and position beams from above. Different beam heights can be used when the timber width matches the selected connector and the joint configuration is suitable.

Technical specifications

Steel thickness: 3 mm
Configuration: five arms, one vertical and four horizontal
Built-in pitch: 0°, no 5° slope
Arm length: 200 mm
Fixing holes: Ø6 mm, staggered
Manufacturing: laser cut, bent and welded in Bulgaria
Finish: zinc primer and textured powder coating

Choose your timber size

10/10: for 100 × 100 mm timber
12/12: for 120 × 120 mm timber
14/14: for 140 × 140 mm timber

Measure the actual finished timber width, including any coating, and verify the internal opening before ordering. OPEN offers flexibility in beam height, not universal compatibility in width.

What you receive

One connector in the selected size. Please enquire about the exact fastener type and quantity supplied. Timber, roofing, foundations, substrate anchors and installation are not included.

Image note: The photo is shared with the 5° version for reference. This listing is for the straight, 0° T51010OPEN connector.

Before installation

Select timber sections, bracing, screws and anchoring for the complete frame and site loads. Steel thickness alone does not determine the load capacity of the finished structure.
