Where a standard zinc-plated angle bracket simply isn't heavy enough for the application, or where the fixing will be exposed to outdoor conditions that would corrode a light plated bracket within a year or two, a galvanised heavy-duty angle bracket is the right specification. At the DIY Hardware Store, our HD galvanised angle brackets cover the structural applications in fencing, gate hanging, timber framing, and outdoor construction where both strength and weather resistance are non-negotiable.
Hot-dip galvanising applies a thick zinc coating by immersing the fabricated bracket in molten zinc - producing a coating that's typically 85 microns thick or more, compared to the 5-25 microns of electroplating. This substantially thicker coating provides far greater long-term protection in exposed outdoor environments, making galvanised brackets the correct choice for any exterior structural application. The heavy-duty gauge steel provides the stiffness and strength needed for structural corner connections in timber framing, post-and-rail assemblies, and heavy gate and fence installations.
