Description
Wood Brace 71T2 uses a plain curved outline in a tall, narrow proportion. It keeps the simple Design 71 character while extending farther down the post than out beneath the beam.
Its standard footprint is 18" projection × 28" height. These measurements describe horizontal and vertical reach, not the diagonal length of the brace. Choose a 3 1/2" or 5 1/2" brace thickness and the Smooth or Rough Sawn surface option shown on this page.
Made from Western Red Cedar, this wooden knee brace brings natural timber detail to pergolas, porches, entryways, canopies, and interior post-and-beam accents. Review the model-specific specification sheet before ordering. Suitability for load-bearing use depends on the complete assembly, connections, and installation; product dimensions alone do not establish a load rating.
Materials & Craftsmanship
Wood Brace 71T2 is crafted in the USA and finished by hand. Natural variations in grain, knots, color, and surface texture are part of real cedar, so each piece has its own character.
- Model-specific shaping and hand-finished surfaces
- Choice of surface texture to coordinate with surrounding timbers
- Dimensions and profile documented for the selected model
Care & Finish
Smooth and Rough Sawn describe the wood surface, not a protective coating. Apply a suitable paint or stain for the intended exposure and follow the coating manufacturer’s preparation and maintenance instructions.
- Seal all faces, edges, and cut ends before or during installation.
- Allow for drainage and ventilation, and avoid direct ground contact.
- Inspect the finish periodically and recoat as needed for the exposure.
For additional guidance, see How to Finish Cedar.
