Smarter Temporary Bracing for Mass Timber Construction
Introducing Stedox™ temporary bracing for mass timber, distributed by Simpson Strong-Tie.
Designed for fast and precise installation, Stedox temporary braces are ideal for mass timber construction. A sturdy and ergonomic handle, rough adjustment locking pin, and threaded rods allowing for fine adjustment allows a single operator to position the braces with ease. Built-in safety stops prevent unsafe brace disengagement. Strong yet lightweight, the braces are hot-dip galvanized and painted for corrosion resistance and durability. Stedox temporary braces will be distributed exclusively in North America by Simpson Strong-Tie and are supported by our customer service team.
