Titen HD Galvanized Concrete/Masonry Anchor
The Titen HD heavy-duty screw anchor is a mechanically galvanized high-strength screw anchor for use in cracked and uncracked concrete, as well as uncracked masonry. Its proprietary heat treatment and ASTM B695 Class 65 mechanically galvanized coating make it ideal for both interior and exterior anchoring applications.
The Titen HD screw anchor is designed for a wide variety of applications such as sill plates, ledgers, post bases, seating, and other holdown applications. The screw anchor is easy to remove for use in temporary applications such as bracing and formwork, or when a fixture needs to be relocated.
Outdoor Accents Flat Straps
Outdoor Accents flat T straps from Simpson Strong-Tie bring decorative appeal and lateral strength to any outdoor living space. They provide reinforcement for a connection where one lumber piece intersects another at a 90° angle. These straps are easily installed with Outdoor Accents structural screws and hex-head washers.
Outdoor Accents Adjustable Post Base
Outdoor Accents® adjustable post bases secure the post or column to concrete and are perfect for outdoor projects, such as pergolas, patio covers and other top-supported structures. These post bases are part of our Outdoor Accents Avant Collection™ and feature a clean, timeless design that complements nearly every architectural style. ZMAX® galvanized steel with a black powder-coat finish provides corrosion resistance.
The APVB post bases install with the Outdoor Accents structural wood screw and patented hex-head washer (sold separately) — the only approved fastener solution for Outdoor Accents connectors. This screw and washer combination provides a decorative bolt-like connection, but with the installation ease of a screw. APVB models include a 1″ standoff from the concrete to help avoid post-end rot from moisture.
Outdoor Accents Deck Joist Tie
The deck joist tie attaches 2x joists to the side of 4x or larger support posts. It installs quickly and easily with the Outdoor Accents structural wood screw and hex-head washer for the look of a bolted connection.
Outdoor Accents APA 90 Degree Angle
Outdoor Accents angles tie together beams, rafters and more. The APA angle makes structural connections between beams and posts much more visually appealing. These angles make connections stronger and provide consistent, straight corners for a variety of outdoor projects.
Outdoor Accents Structural Screw
The Outdoor Accents structural wood screw reduces installation time by driving easily without predrilling. When combined with the patented, load-rated Outdoor Accents hex-head washer, the solution delivers the decorative appearance of a bolt connection but with a much easier installation. The structural wood screw is now available in three sizes: 2″, 3 1/2″ and 5 1/2″, and can be used with either the Mission Collection® or Avant Collection™, as well as separately to add flair to any outdoor project.
The 3 1/2″ and 5 1/2″ screws are ideal for structural applications. They feature a bold thread design that enables superior holding to attach ledgers and other secure connections. The 2″ screw is ideal for use with 2x lumber, and for adding style to any DIY project. Note: The 2” screw has lower load values than the 3 ½” and 5 ½” screws. It may not be substituted where the longer screws are required.
