Wood Knee Braces Info
Explore sections to find out more about Wood Knee Braces.
Our Wood Knee Braces are diagonal timber supports installed between a vertical post and a horizontal beam. Beyond strength, they create a bold visual accent for soffits, porch roofs, gables, pavilions and free-standing outdoor structures.
Each brace is built in-house in the USA from solid Western Red Cedar and offered in smooth or rough-sawn finishes, with custom options available for unique layouts.
