How to Install Angle Brackets Correctly
Angle brackets are essential components in everything from roof trusses and wall studs to floor joists and pergolas. But to ensure your connections can withstand the load, proper installation is crucial – with the right bracket, the right nail or screw dimensions, and the correct nailing pattern.
Choose the Right Bracket for the Right Angle
We offer a wide range of angle brackets to suit different needs. All our brackets are CE-marked and tested according to Eurocode 5 and the Swedish standard SS-EN 1995-1-1:2004. This means they can handle high loads – provided they are installed according to the instructions.
How to Install Your Angle Brackets Properly
To achieve maximum load-bearing capacity, make sure to:
- Use anchor nails or anchor screws with the correct dimensions, e.g., 4.0×40 mm or 5.0×35 mm.
- Follow the recommended nailing patterns, such as full nailing or pattern 1 or 2.
- Maintain proper edge distance and spacing between nails/screws.
- Check whether the structure is braced or not – this affects the number of brackets required.
Tip! In some cases, you may need to use double brackets or shorter nails/screws to avoid overlap on narrower timber widths. You’ll find all of this – and much more – in our detailed Dimensioning Handbook.

If you’re unsure about how to install your angle brackets, we recommend reading our Design Manual. It covers everything from load-bearing capacity to nailing patterns for each bracket type. You can download the manual at joma.se by logging in as a designer.
