Over recent years, half-lap connection is widely used all over the world to provide longer structural member due to limited size of sawn timber in construction industries. Timber connected in joints may reduce overall mechanical properties of the structure. This paper present finding on a series of connection of half lap bolted joint member from Keruing (SG5) and Sesendok (SG7) timber species. The half-lap connection were subjected to tensile test and reinforced with GFRP sheet that were conducted until failure to determine their tensile behavior. The results showed that the GFRP help to increase the load carrying capacity of all the timber specimens especially timber species that lies in a weak strength group for almost 30 % by strength.
