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.

One Tie To Rule Them All

Would Recommend

I had heard whispers of a legendary tie found at the most remote corner of the store. “The Strong tie” it was called. Crafted by the master smith, “Simpson”. My journey was long and arduous. Tempted along the way by many detours, but I held firm. Finally, at the end of the last row, I found my prize. The Simpson Strong Tie. With my bounty in hand I made haste to the check out and paid the agreed upon sum. Anywho, took em home and they worked great.
