BENT Restraint Straps (Light Duty) – Galvanised – 10 Pack

Galvanised restraint straps are one of those things every bricklayer, carpenter and general builder gets through in quantity. These light duty bent straps are used to tie timber wall plates, joists and rafters back to masonry, keeping structural timbers where they’re supposed to be and satisfying building regulations in the process. The pre-formed bend means they drop straight into use without any faffing about on site.

These are hot dip galvanised for corrosion resistance, which matters in wall cavities and roof voids where you’re not going back to check on things in a hurry. The 100mm width gives a solid bearing surface against the masonry, and the straps are pre-punched for easy fixings — no need to drill your own holes.

Galvanised Restraint Straps: Sizes and Where to Use Them

Six lengths are available, running from 300mm right up to 1500mm, so you can match the strap to the actual structural requirement rather than bending something up that wasn’t designed for it. Shorter lengths suit lighter tying duties close to masonry, while the longer options are the ones to reach for when you need to span across a cavity or tie a plate sitting further from the wall face. It’s one of the few fixings where getting the length wrong is a genuine issue, so having the right size to hand matters.

Supplied in packs of ten, these are sensibly priced for buying in the right quantity for a job without ending up with a drawer full of spares. Whether you’re working on a new build, a loft conversion or a domestic extension, galvanised restraint straps in this specification are a standard part of the build-up and these cover the common sizing requirements across the lot.
