Getting Projects Done Faster
When completion deadlines are tight, crews are stretched thin, and the weather’s uncertain, any construction advantage you can get matters.
DonoBrace® is the highest capacity tension rod bracing system on the market, and its installation is the fastest of all tension-bracing systems. DonoBrace® can also be easily assembled on or off site.
DonoBrace® enables crews to assemble components consistently and efficiently due to its repeatable, straightforward process. This lowers the amount of specialized training required, improves installation speed, and benefits from the proven reliability of the system’s components.
DonoBrace® cuts tension-bracing rework and reduces downtime through its advanced design. Unlike other systems, crews can adjust this bracing in the field with minimal effort. This adjustability means fewer remakes and reorder cycles, which speeds up project completion.

Achieving Safer On-Site Installation
The engineering and quality of DonoBrace® also accelerate project timelines by introducing easier, safer installation processes. DonoBrace® reduces the need for multiple cranes and simplifies temporary bracing while requiring less bracing than conventional systems. This improves crew safety and makes on-site operations more efficient.
DonoBrace® components are installed on the same side of the column or rafter, streamlining the process and minimizing complexity. This feature, along with fewer lift operations and less need for coordinated booms, reduces time and labor required, resulting in lower injury and incident risks compared to other tension-bracing systems.
Another benefit: DonoBrace® components are exposed—no blind spots to cause inspection delays. Inspection ports provide instant visual confirmation of positive connections, providing greater assurance of safety and project progress.
Efficient Labor Cost and Training Time
Excessive training time and reworks are costly and can result in errors. You can count on our uniformly manufactured components and straightforward assembly processes to make training efficient—another factor in helping keep projects on track.
In one case study, DonoBrace® eliminated the need for angle bracing, simplifying the structural design, speeding up the onsite erection, reducing overall building weight while maintaining superior performance.
Those installation processes helped the worksite team recover from weather delays and other setbacks, enabling the project to meet the completion date.
Faster Design Capability is Built In
Designing tension-bracing systems can be tedious and slow unless helpful tools are readily available from the start.
DonoBrace® is compatible with software such as Tekla and Metal Building Software Inc. (MBS), enabling designers to reduce the number of brace bays required (for example, from 5 to 3 or from 3 to 2) through optimized engineering. This saves both time and materials needed across building projects.
For easier detailing, DonoBrace® assets are available in a free Tekla library.
DonoBrace® designs and details are also included in the MBS (Metal Building Software Inc.) program.
