Gable thru plates, also called Y plates and angled T plates, are the structural and decorative iron plates that support a horizontal beam to a ridge beam. These iron brackets are available in all our hammered textures and all our finishes. Fasteners are sold seperately. For structural applications with heavy loads we recommend through bolting with 1/2" diameter or larger fasteners. We do not recommend any of our overhead metal plates be installed with clavos.
