Take a closer look at the plates, bases, and screws that bring your pavilion together. We select the hardware for your design and include the connection details in your kit instructions.

Quality hardware for your pavilion.
Strong connections start with quality hardware. Our structural framing screws are supplied by Big Timber. Your kit includes CTX screws for the timber framing and WTX screws to secure the steel plates.
CTX · Timber framing
Supplied framing sizes: #17 × 8″, 10″, 12″, and 16″.
A structural construction screw with a washer head, star drive, and bronze coating for interior or exterior use. The longer lengths connect substantial timber members; use the length specified for each joint in your kit instructions.
A structural lag screw with a black corrosion-resistant coating, wafer head, and T30 star drive. Its broad head seats against the decorative steel plates, matching their black finish.
Product photos and specifications: Big Timber / Marmon Fastener Company. Images illustrate the product families; they do not depict every screw length supplied.
