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. 

  • Learn how to specify the correct connection for your job
  • Discover the do’s and don’ts for timber framing connections
  • Hear about the latest innovations in truss tie-down
  • See the latest fixing and connector products straight from the manufacturers
  • Understand the best practice for their application and use
