T51010OPEN – 5-arm straight central connector | 3 mm steel
SKU:
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.
