Plates 10 products

Esker

For 6" to 10" timbers

The Esker Collection is a line of plates that will help add a decorative touch to your trusses. Long and curvaceous, echoing the long, winding lines of esker ridges, these plates work flawlessly with timbers ranging from 6" to 10" wide. Esker plates are 6" wide along timbers on the perimeter of your truss and on webbing timbers like king posts and struts.
