Summary
Join us for our webinar on a brief overview of conventional fasteners (nails, wood screws, lag screws and bolts), including their respective advantages, disadvantages, and significant design and installation considerations. In addition, Strong-Drive structural wood screws will be introduced, with an overview of their improved features and benefits and a summary of their testing and evaluation. Several examples of applications will be discussed in greater detail. Resources for specification will be presented to ensure easy and effective design.
Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions.
After attending this webinar, you should be able to:
