For the most stable and secure repair using this mending brace, you should utilize carriage bolts in the fastener slots, particularly in outdoor wood projects. The square shoulder under the carriage bolt head will draw tightly into the wood, ensuring the brace pulls the joint together and eliminates movement, which is the most common cause of future failure. Be sure to check that the combined width of the materials being mended does not exceed the bolt length you plan to use.
