SAFEGUARD DECKS FROM BALUSTER FAILURES

AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Falls from elevated deck railings impose a significant toll of both serious injury and death. Moisture expands and dryness contracts the balusters that are nailed or screwed at both the top and bottom deck rails. Eventually, the fasteners either wallow out or split the wood, wherein the fasteners are no longer safely securing the balusters. Falls will occur through these unsecured balusters! The Slip Bracket Connector is a simple remedy that has been developed to mitigate these baluster failures. This connector loosely surrounds the lower baluster allowing for vertical movement, yet safely secures it from a horizontal force. For an in depth explanation, please review our article.

The SBC brackets are designed to be used for 2" x 2" rail balusters (pickets) lower rail securement as shown below.
 
SBC-A would normally be used for decks where access is made from outside of the deck.
SBC-B would normally be used for existing high decks where installation is more easily made from
the existing deck surface.

Our online store is coming soon! It will be completed and ready for orders this spring.
