Make the Connection: Fixings and tie-down for timber framing
Event Type:
Seminar
Date:
Tuesday 14 November 2023
Location:
Webinar via Zoom
Event Description
A timber structure is only as strong as its joints, and a screw or strap used incorrectly can make or, quite literally, break a house or building.
Event Program
As timber construction continues to progress beyond the typical lightweight timber-framed home, so must the connections and fixings we use “keep up” with these advancements and the new ways that we are using building materials.
Timber Queensland’s webinar, Make the Connection, is a must-attend for building professionals who want to remain up to date about innovations in fixings and tie-down that ensure you’re using the right new age screws, hangers and connectors for the job at hand. Participants will learn the uses and limitations of working with traditional lightweight metal connectors, gain practical advice for timber framing tie-down and hear about new product innovations from timber connection manufacturers.
