ABSTRACT:
A wood rot protector for use between two intersecting portions of lumber, and having a protector for attachment over the upper edge of a lower portion of lumber, the protector having a web overlying the upper edge of the lumber, and in some cases having side walls, an upper surface of the web having a central planar median strip. In one embodiment the protector is in the form of a planar strip having angled side edges extending outwardly from the edges of the lumber to a width greater than the width of the lumber to carry moisture away from the lumber and allow it to drip downwardly. In another embodiment the protector may have side walls extending down partially over each side of the piece of lumber. Grooves may be formed on the upper surface of the median to prevent migration of moisture along the upper surface.
