Outwater Architectural Products 3P5.29.00037 Faux Wood Beam Strap, Black

Installed these on seams of u-beam on 14 foot ceiling. At that height they look good! Forget using F-26 ( it may hold everything else but it doesn’t adhere to these rubber straps). Just grab a partner, one hold and stretch the strap and the other put black screws in it. We can’t see the screws. I read the bad reviews prior to purchasing about how they don’t conform etc. I feel some people expect too much from faux products, they should spend 3 times as much and buy iron, heat it up, hammer and bend it around your beam, then use a blow torch to cut holes in it, then drill holes in your wood to bolt the iron straps to. Come on folks. I will post pictures later. As I said, it looks good and I haven’t seen anything affordable that would look any better! You may be able to research what adhesive will work on tire rubber and then be able to remove screws after the adhesive fully cures, remember you are working against gravity.

The product looks nothing like the picture. It’s all black and looks like an oversized belt. Don’t waste your money. I also tried to return this garbage with no response from the seller. Scam!!!!!!!

I would recommend this product over any other similar faux beam straps. Flexible enough to wrap around a square beam and look good at the corners. Look very similar to metal strap. The only problem I've found is that the maximum length you can purchase is 41".

Using as a medieval-themed accent and to cover a seam. This was easy to cut and to attach with construction adhesive. I did dry brush with some silver metallic paint to accent the edges and hand-wrought irregularities. Won't be mistaken for actual iron on inspection, but achieves the right look with casual observation.

I love the idea but not as easy to install to get the look it is supposed to give.
