    Q:Are these approved for structural applications? The mending plates are not, but are these? I'm wanting to use these in lieu of plywood gussets for storage shed rafters/trusses.

    A:  Nope. You would have to use the HTP series connectors which are a thicker gauge and have limited load-tensioning ability.

      A:  The product is ideal for reinforcing wood-to-wood connections on flat members.

        Answer This Question

        A:  Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We reached out to MFG for more information and below is their response. “ The TP37 has the standard G90 galvanized finish which provides a low level of corrosion protection and is only recommended in dry service with limited treated wood. Please see the Corrosion section of our website to determine the recommended finish for your specific application based on environment, type of treated wood being used, chemical retention, etc. Thank you! "

          Q:what would be the best Tie plate to use to tie upright support pole to a concrete 8" riser?

          Answer This Question

          A:  CJ, The TP tie plates are intended for flat wood-to-wood applications. More information would be needed to determine connector options for your condition: what is the size and material of the pole, what is the demand load, etc. I would suggest discussing these details with a rep at your local Home Depot store who can point you to possible connectors. Thank you!
