Product description
These flat joining plates offer a practical way to strengthen timber connections in indoor and outdoor projects. Made from 2 mm galvanised steel, the pack of ten plates gives a consistent, corrosion‑resistant option for repair and construction tasks, and the staggered hole layout helps spread loads across the joint.
Key points
The set includes ten perforated plates measuring 160 x 40 mm with a 2 mm thickness and 16 holes of 5 mm diameter each. They are ready drilled for straightforward fixing with screws or bolts, which are not included. The galvanised finish improves longevity in damp or exposed environments, though for coastal locations enhanced stainless fastenings are worth considering.

Why it makes sense
These plates suit a range of DIY and joinery uses from shelving repairs to reinforcing garden structures. The staggered hole pattern reduces the chance of timber splitting and helps distribute stress when the joint bears weight. They are a straightforward, value‑focused component when you need a neat mechanical connection without specialised tools.
Best use cases
Use them where a flat, low‑profile connector is needed, for butt joints, lap repairs or where surfaces must remain flush. It’s a good fit if you want a simple, repeatable fix that resists rust under normal outdoor conditions. Take into account that screws are not supplied, so choose fasteners appropriate to the timber species and exposure level.
The pack delivers ten identical plates for small projects and multiple repairs, each plate sized for common timber sections and general carpentry tasks.
