Designed with today's technology but inspired by centuries-old techniques, our rustic wood millwork features all the natural beauty and character that make each piece one-of-a-kind.

Questions & Answers
Can these be used outside?
Thank you for your interest in our product Yes, these Western Red Cedar knee braces are suitable for exterior use. Western Red Cedar naturally contains tannins that help resist insects and decay, and we recommend applying a high-quality exterior finish to maximize their long-term durability and appearance.
For: 6"W x 10"D x 10"H Thorton Rough Sawn Knee Brace, Douglas Fir by Ekena. I plan on attaching these braces to 8" Douglas Fir posts, would that give me approximately 1" space on each side of the brace if the bottom is centered on the 8" post?
Thank you for your interest in this product! Yes, that is exactly right. The brace would be approximately 6" wide, so if it is mounted on an 8" wide post and centered, this would leave you with approximately 1" on each side. Best of luck on your project!
Hi Do both sides of this brace have curve? How you can install this?
Thanks for reaching out. This is a traditional brace, so the curve (or radius) is on the front face of the bracket. The back of the brace follows the curve and the top and bottom are flat for an easy installation. There is a side view picture in the gallery that may help! To view a diagram of the brace and installation, feel free to visit: https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/96/96824315-5d59-4e8f-ba33-bb913b80d44b.pdf
do these come in rough Douglas Furr
Thanks for reaching out. Yes, you can choose "Douglas Fir" under the Color/Finish option. Or, the Model # is BRC06X12X16THR00RDF. The brackets are heavy-duty, authentic wood. Feel free to visit the installation guidelines, here: https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/96/96824315-5d59-4e8f-ba33-bb913b80d44b.pdf
How wide is the face of the bracket? I assume the 4” is the depth of the bracket where it mounts to the post/beam
Thanks for reaching out. The face of the brace is 4" in width (with the ends being 2" in thickness). The flat portion of the brace, that typically attaches to the post/house, is 11" both at the top and bottom. Hope this information helps and the brace works great for your project.

Are these true dimensions? Would these be appropriate to use with 4 x 4 lumber posts?
These are the actual product dimensions.
These are true measurements, so if you order it in rough sawn it will be a full 4", which would overhang a traditional 4 X 4 post. If you order the smooth version, it will be 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 which would fit better on a 4 X 4
Is there any info available regarding how much weight they can support?
Yes, this item can support bow window.
These wood brackets can bear weight, however, how they are installed is equally important. If secured properly, these should be able to assist with support the window.
Any suggestion on how to attach to an exterior entry way? Liquid nails? I would like to avoid screws in sight.
Hi Agtison, Thank you for your interest in our product line. When installing braces, It is recommended that you use some sort of screw or bolt. If you would like to avoid screws, lag bolts would be another option. Liquid nails however would most likely not be sufficient to support the brace. -Joe
