In applications as jois,t hangers for framing floor and ceiling joists to headers, the anchor grips both ,headers, provid,ing a stron'ger connection. Both plates are also gripped in anchoring roof rafters securely against high velocity winds. Used in wall fra,rning, Du-AlCl'ips provide a rigid joint tyin'g he entire structure together against racking and upli,f,t forces.

A special "p're-firt" projection on the tr'iangular flange of the fram,ing c,lip speeds installation by permitting the anchor to be "tacked" in place prior to nailing. Du-AlClips c'ome complete wi,th special nails, and require no bendin,g or twisting before being put to use.

The framing cli,p eliminates toe-nailing, strap hangers, ndtohing and ledger stripping, and is economical for roof, floor atrd ceiling and wall framing, as well as stud to concrete connections.

The /t" thick plywood slats are stronger than l" boards, and presen,t an attractive, rus,tic aprpearance. Each panel 'is grade-stamped for quality by the Douglas Fir Plywood dssociation.

The ,fen'ce is sold in sections, each including a woven panel, one 4-inch square post 7 ft. long, and a Wes,tern Red Cedar carp'ping rail. Posts are pressure-treated full length with Boliden salt and are guaran'teed 25 years agains.t failure. All parts are primecoate'd at the factory with a redwood type pigmented stain and Penta, a solution tox'irc to in,sects .and decay organisms. Installation requires only setting posts and 'fitting panel units bettrlrreen, which are held ,to posts at each end by two non-staining, ga'lvanized steel dowels fitted into pre-dril'led holes.
