Bent restraint straps at this spec are what the regs actually call for when you are tying roof trusses, rafters and joists back to masonry. These are 40mm x 5mm heavy duty straps, pre-bent at 100mm, and manufactured from A2 stainless steel throughout. Available in 1000mm and 1200mm lengths to suit different structural situations, they are supplied in a 10 pack — useful when you are working across a full roof rather than fixing a single point.
The A2 stainless steel construction is not just a nice-to-have. Building Regulations and BS 5268 Part 3 specify stainless steel in corrosive environments, and that covers more situations than most people assume. Green oak, for instance, is notoriously aggressive to standard mild steel fixings — the tannins will get to work on them well before the structure is even closed in. Any coastal or high-humidity exposure tells a similar story. Stainless eliminates that risk entirely.
Where Bent Restraint Straps Are Used on Site
The standard application is horizontal restraint — roof trusses, cut rafters and floor joists tied back into a blockwork or brick leaf. The pre-formed 90-degree bend seats flat against the wall plate or joist while the strap runs across to the masonry, giving you a clean, code-compliant fixing without any site bending. That matters when a Building Control inspector is due on Thursday and you need everything done properly rather than just done quickly.
Sizing on Site
The 1000mm length covers most standard truss-to-masonry applications. The 1200mm option gives you extra reach where there is a wider cavity, a deeper wall plate, or the geometry just does not play ball. Worth having both sizes to hand if you are working on a larger project rather than ordering twice.
These bent restraint straps are priced per 10 pack, making them straightforward to cost into a job without carrying individual strap prices through a bill of quantities.
Pro Tip: When fixing into the masonry leaf, use A2 stainless fixings throughout — mixing stainless straps with standard zinc-plated screws defeats the point entirely, especially in green oak or high-humidity environments.
Bent restraint straps are a standard structural fixing on new-build and renovation roofwork. They are used to tie roof trusses, cut rafters and timber joists horizontally back to the masonry leaf, preventing lateral movement under wind load. You will also see them specified on timber frame projects where the floor joists need restraining to blockwork at regular centres. Anywhere Building Regulations require horizontal restraint, these are the component doing that job.

Not suitable for: Not suitable for vertical restraint applications or use as a structural hanger. Not intended for direct replacement of purpose-made joist hangers or timber connectors requiring a rated load capacity.
Bent restraint straps are fixed at regular centres as specified by your engineer or Building Regulations requirement — typically every 2 metres along the length of a roof. The pre-formed bend seats over or against the wall plate or joist end, and the flat strap runs across to the masonry where it is fixed with appropriate stainless fixings.
Make sure the strap lies flat and is not kinked during installation. Any movement in the strap before it is fully fixed will compromise the restraint effect. Fix to masonry using frame fixings or suitable plugs and screws rated for the loading specified — always use A2 stainless fixings to match the strap material.
- Mark strap positions along the roof at the specified restraint centres, typically every 2 metres
- Position the pre-bent end of the strap over the wall plate or against the joist as appropriate for your detail
- Run the flat section of the strap across to the masonry leaf, ensuring it sits flush and is not twisted
- Mark and drill fixing holes into the masonry at the strap end
- Fix the strap to the masonry using A2 stainless screws and suitable plugs or frame fixings
- Fix the bent end to the timber wall plate or joist using stainless nails or screws
- Check the strap is tight and flat with no play before moving to the next fixing point
Why does the strap need to be stainless steel rather than galvanised?
Building Regulations require stainless steel restraint straps in corrosive environments. Green oak is the most common reason on site — the tannins in the timber attack standard mild steel and galvanised fixings over time. Stainless is also specified in coastal locations and anywhere with persistent moisture exposure. Once the structure is closed in and inaccessible, you really do not want to find out the straps have corroded.
Which length should I use, 1000mm or 1200mm?
The 1000mm strap covers most standard truss-to-masonry situations. The 1200mm option is useful where you have a wider cavity, a deeper wall plate, or structural geometry that requires extra reach to get a good fixing into the masonry leaf. If you are unsure, check your structural drawings or consult your engineer — the strap must reach properly into the masonry to do its job.
How many restraint straps do I need per roof?
The standard requirement under Building Regulations is restraint at maximum 2 metre centres along the length of the roof. So for a 10 metre ridge length, you are looking at a minimum of five fixing points per side. Exact spacing may be specified by your structural engineer, particularly on larger or more complex roofs. The 10 pack format makes it straightforward to order to the job size.
Manufactured from A2 grade stainless steel, these straps offer reliable corrosion resistance suitable for exposed and chemically aggressive environments. The 40mm x 5mm cross-section provides the rigidity required for structural horizontal restraint under BS 5268 Part 3 and relevant Building Regulations. The 100mm pre-formed bend is consistent across the batch, removing the need for site fabrication and ensuring a clean, compliant installation.
