Collection: EZ Brace

Adjustable diagonal bracing for lateral stability and structural reinforcement

Post-to-beam connections often require diagonal bracing to resist lateral forces from wind, snow, gravity, and impact loads. Without proper bracing, structures such as decks, pavilions, and pole buildings can experience excessive movement, racking, or long-term instability.

EZ Brace is designed to provide a simple, adjustable solution for adding diagonal structural support where post-to-beam bracing is required.

Why Diagonal Bracing Is Important

Lateral loads act on structures from multiple directions and can place significant stress on post-to-beam connections. Traditional diagonal bracing methods often require precise angle cuts and field adjustments, which can be time-consuming and difficult to execute consistently.

EZ Brace simplifies this process by allowing diagonal supports to be installed at any angle between 0° and 90°, ensuring proper load transfer without complex layout or cutting.

How EZ Brace Solves the Problem

EZ Brace installs at post-to-beam connections to create a rigid diagonal load path that improves overall structural stability. The system accommodates a wide range of framing sizes and allows diagonal wood braces to be cut straight rather than angled to match the post.

Sold as a complete kit, EZ Brace provides all required steel components and fasteners to ensure consistent, repeatable installation in the field.

Practical, Installer-Friendly Design

• Adjustable to accommodate varying bracing angles

• Compatible with common framing sizes, including 4x4, 6x6, and built-up members

• Simplifies installation by eliminating complex angle cuts

• Supplied as a complete kit with all required hardware

• Suitable for new construction or retrofit applications

Engineered Structural Performance

EZ Brace is designed to function as a structural bracing component, providing resistance to both vertical and lateral loads when installed as specified. It is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where reliable diagonal reinforcement is required.

Typical applications include decks, pole barns, pavilions, carports, and similar post-framed structures.

Code-Conscious Bracing Solution

EZ Brace offers a practical, engineered approach to diagonal bracing that supports code-appropriate construction practices while reducing installation time and field complexity.
