Minimum Cross Section per Screw Length of SHERPA wood connectors

Due to the alternative screw lengths for the individual wood connector series, it is necessary to increase the beam height by 20 to 60 mm in relation to the standard length. The secondary beam width is retained regardless of the screw length.
