Connections

Wallbarn offers the convenience of two options for connecting I-Plus beams, streamlining installation. The first method employs self-tapping screws for sturdy mechanical fixation. Straight and right-angle fixing brackets feature two counter-sunk holes, simplifying attachment via self-tapping screws.

Alternatively, the wing nut and M8 bolt method offers manual securing. Here, the bolt head is inserted into the I-Plus beam’s side or bottom profile, and the wing nut is manually placed around the bracket. This approach’s strength lies in its initial loosely secured framework, enabling flexible realignment for precise positioning. Once the desired alignment is achieved, tightening the wing nuts solidifies the substructure. This method guarantees a robust and precisely aligned construction.
