Description
This kit provides hardware for securely installing our wood products. The 1" Wood Plug is a round peg with flat ends, designed to fit into a pre-drilled hole to conceal the screw used in mounting. Once installed with glue, the plug follows the natural direction of the wood grain, ensuring a seamless appearance. Depending on your preference, the plug can either be left slightly raised for a more rustic look or trimmed and sanded flush for a smoother, more finished appearance. We offer plugs in three standard wood species: Western Red Cedar, Douglas Fir, and Eastern White Pine.
