Bracing is a technique used to provide additional support to a structure by distributing lateral loads and preventing deformation. These loads can come from various sources, including wind, earthquakes, and uneven settlement of the foundation. Without adequate bracing, steel structures risk failure, which could lead to catastrophic collapse and pose considerable risks to safety.

5. Corrosion Resistance Many 2% self-drilling screws are treated with coatings, such as zinc plating or epoxy, to enhance their resistance to rust and corrosion. This feature makes them suitable for outdoor applications and environments exposed to moisture.

- Outdoor Structures For projects involving outdoor furniture or fixtures, brass screws provide the necessary durability against the elements while maintaining an attractive appearance.

 DIN6914/A325/A490 heavy duty hex structural bolts are manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of the construction industry. Made from high-quality materials, the bolt can withstand high levels of tension and shear forces, making it suitable for critical structural connections.
