Installation Hardware FAQs
What hardware do I need to install a cedar bracket?
Most brackets mount with lag screws or structural screws driven into framing or a solid backer, often counter-bored and capped with matching wood plugs to hide the fasteners. The exact size depends on the bracket and load — contact us if you're unsure.
What are wood plugs for?
Wood plugs fill the counter-bored holes over your screws so no metal is visible, giving a clean, finished look. We offer cedar plugs that match our brackets and corbels.
How do I hide screws on an exterior installation?
Counter-bore a recess for the screw head, drive the fastener into solid framing, then glue a matching wood plug into the recess and trim it flush. We sell the plugs, drill bits, and driver bits needed for this.
Do you sell the right screws for outdoor use?
Yes. We carry lag screws and structural screws suited to exterior wood applications. For coastal or high-moisture areas, ask us about corrosion-resistant options.
What size lag screw should I use?
Lag size depends on the bracket size and the load it carries. As a general guide, larger brackets and load-bearing installs need longer, thicker lags anchored into solid framing. Call 1-800-915-5110 and we'll recommend the right fastener.
Do you offer installation hardware kits?
Yes — see our Lag Screw Kit and mounting-hardware options, which bundle the fasteners and plugs commonly needed for bracket and corbel installs.
