What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these structural connectors for exceptional strength, durability, and ease of installation across diverse wood framing applications. The ZMAX coating resists rust in moist environments, and reviewers consistently report the ties hold up under extreme conditions. Installation is straightforward with well-designed screw hole placement that eliminates awkward fits and saves labor time. Many customers note their projects pass code inspection and meet building standards. Versatility across decks, roofs, and fence posts makes them a go-to solution. A few mention needing quality drill bits for certain materials, but overall satisfaction is overwhelming.

Hurricane Ties that Supported My Bodyweight Easily

Would Recommend

These hurricane ties worked great for my project. The metal felt strong, the holes lined up well, and the ZMAX coating gives me more confidence using them where moisture could be a concern. They were easy to install and added a lot of strength without being bulky. I’d definitely buy them again.

Ties rafter

Would Recommend

I like the product helps me secure my rafters to my top plates. I prefer if the recommended nail was marked on the hardware.

Trust Simpson for anything structural

Would Recommend

These hurricane ties are bomb. Easy to nail off and the ZMAX coating means they will outlast the wood they are holding. Used a lot of these on a deck build and every connection is solid. Simpson hardware is never the place to cut corners.
