ABSTRACT:
A resin matrix connects a plurality of longitudinally aligned fibers together adjacent an outer side of the reinforcement. The outer side of the reinforcement has elongated peaks and elongated valleys. The valleys are defined by a space absent the resin matrix and located between the longitudinally aligned fibers located between the fibers. The elongated peaks are associated with the longitudinally aligned fibers. An adhesive connects the outer side of the reinforcement to the outer side of the wood structural member. The adhesive bonds to the plurality of valleys of the reinforcement. An apparatus for manufacturing the reinforcement is also provided.
