All fixings, such as straps, bolts, screws, coach screws and framing anchors must match the requirements of the relevant Australian Standards.

 

All fixings used for framing anchors and straps must be corrosion protected. The level of corrosion protection relates to:

  • weather exposure
  • timber treatment
  • moisture
  • presence of salt
  • other types of corrosion protection required by relevant authorities.

Where corrosion protection of steel is required it must accord with AS/NZS 4791, AS/NZS 4534, AS 1397 and AS 1214.
