outdoor architectural designs. These multipurpose
beams have the functionality, resiliency, and beauty
to make your project remarkable. Whether you
choose to use Lifespan beams for pergolas, entryways, dramatic screening, or your own creative architectural vision, revel in the feeling of building
something truly innovative.
REINFORCED MODULAR COMPOSITE
Lifespan architectural beams offer design versatility and increased span thanks to their specialised aluminium core that makes for easier installation at height. The outer coating of low-maintenance bamboo composite resists biodegradation, corrosion, insects, and harsh weather, and offers built-in UV protection for beautiful durability. Enjoy the look of timber beams without the upkeep.
INCREASED SPAN
Lifespan architectural beams offer the span capability of much heavier, solid beams thanks to their built-in aluminium core. This core
significantly enhances the dimensional and flexural stability of the beam, while the Eva-tech bamboo composite coating provides a realistic timber aesthetic, as well as resistance to severe climatic and biodeterioration conditions.
HIGH PERFORMANCE FOR HIGH EXPECTATIONS
Lifespan beams add style and functionality in a diverse range of applications. Enjoy the shade and privacy of a pergola or screen, or enhance the appeal of your home exterior with beams that give the look of wood without the maintenance hassles.

CONCEALED BEAM SPLICE ASSEMBLY
Short Mitre 90-degree
CONCEALED BEAM SPLICE ASSEMBLY
Short Mitre 90-degree
A 90-degree Mitre Splice profile creates a clean right corner for your outdoor installation by providing a simple yet secure perpendicular attachment between two Lifespan beams along their short or long edge. After cutting your Lifespan beams to a 45-degree angle, slip one side of the Splice bracket into the hollow chambers of the first beam and fasten the bracket to the beam with a screw on each wide face of the beam. Next, slide your second Lifespan beam over the remaining side of the bracket and repeat the fastening steps to establish a reliable miter joint for your project. Each Splice pack includes two brackets and eight dark brown fasteners.
CONCEALED BEAM SPLICE ASSEMBLY
Straight Splice
The Concealed Straight Splice gives your Lifespan installation a discreet yet reliable connection between two Lifespan beams running in the same direction. Join your two Lifespan beams by inserting one side of the Straight Splice bracket into the hollow chambers of the first beam. Secure the beam to the bracket by fastening two screws on the top face of the beam and two screws on the bottom face. Next, slide your second beam onto the remaining side of the bracket and repeat the fastening steps to create a dependable hold between the beams. Each Concealed Straight Splice kit includes one bracket and eight dark brown screws.
CONCEALED CROSS CONNECTION PLATE
The Lifespan concealed cross connection plate allows you to
enjoy a fastener-free finished look for your Lifespan pergola by offering a secure, hidden attachment between your Lifespan crossbeams. The colour-matched powder coated and galvanised steel plate is first attached to the bottom of the pergola crossbeams and then to the top of your Lifespan support beam, allowing the crossbeams to sit atop the support beam while keeping the connection plate out of sight.
CONCEALED CLIP-IN BRACKET ASSEMBLY
The Lifespan concealed clip-in bracket kit makes installing
Lifespan beams vertically or horizontally simpler and gives your outdoor project a more polished and professional final look. The concealed clip-in bracket kit includes a powder coated and galvanised wall mount which can be attached to a wall or post
where the Lifespan beam will eventually be installed. The kit’s metal beam insert attaches with the fasteners included in the kit and is designed to fit within the hollow chambers of the Lifespan beam for a strong attachment.
CONCEALED POST MOUNT
The Lifespan concealed post mount kit establishes a secure and solid attachment between Lifespan posts and the decking or solid surface beneath them while creating an uncluttered final look for your outdoor project. The bracket fits discretely within the hollow
chambers of a standard Lifespan post to avoid visual detection while providing a reliable long-term hold. Each kit includes a powder coated and galvanised steel post mount, plus all the necessary
fasteners to attach the post for straightforward installation (does not include substrate fasteners). Simply place the post mount where you would like your post, slip the Lifespan post over the brackets, and attach with the fasteners provided.
LIFESPAN U-BRACKET
The Lifespan U-bracket builds a stable and dependable
connection between your Lifespan beam and substrate. First, fasten the U-bracket to your substrate. Then carefully pre-drill holes in your Lifespan beam to align with the holes in the bracket. Next, slide the beam into the bracket. Slip the threaded rod through the aligned holes in the bracket and beam. Finally, secure the bracket by installing and tightening the provided washers and
nuts to both ends of the rod. The Lifespan U-bracket is available in the complete Lifespan colour palette.
CONCEALED RAFTER BRACKETS
Lifespan concealed rafter brackets offer a discreet yet longlasting hold for your Lifespan beams and can be installed to support horizontal or vertical boards for more versatile outdoor
project designs. The concealed rafter brackets sit within the
hollow chambers of Lifespan beams and are fastened to Lifespan upright or vertical support beams with only one screw on each side to minimise the visibility of the fixing.
