SHERPA Wood Connector with Hardwood

Due to the increasing use of hardwood for load-bearing components, we have looked at the effects on our SHERPA connector system and in particular on the special screws.

For example, screw-in tests were carried out at different screw-in angles in relation to the grain direction of the wood. This was followed by corresponding load capacity tests.

Based on this, the practical screw lengths and the associated load carrying capacity values are now available for the dimensioning of connections of various hardwoods and materials made from them.
