KBS1Z Knee-Brace Stabilizers

KBS1Z Knee-Brace Stabilizers

KBS1Z Knee-Brace Stabilizers are engineered structural connectors designed to reinforce angled brace connections in decks, pergolas, pavilions, and other outdoor wood structures. By strengthening the connection between posts and beams, these stabilizers help reduce sway and improve overall lateral stability.

At Fasteners Plus, we carry Simpson Strong-Tie KBS1Z Knee-Brace Stabilizers built for durability and code-compliant performance in exterior applications. When your structure needs added rigidity and wind resistance, KBS1Z connectors provide dependable reinforcement.
