Would RecommendThese were a bit expensive, but worth every penny; and by the end of the project, I wished I had more of them. They are thick and strong, and were the key component for getting my fence straightened out. Thanks to the lumber department for their help.

Quality item, easy to install
Would RecommendThere is a Simpson product for just about every framing situation and this one is no exception. Very easy to install, exactly what I needed for my project. I needed to shore up a weak joist without removing it and this Simpson tie plate worked a treat. I will purchase again when the need arises.

Fixing a problem with new shades and cornices.
Would RecommendBought these joining plates to re-mount cornices I have triple arched widows, so the two side windows are on an angle. Prior owners has custom cellular shades mounted on angle. I went with side mount cellular shades, but couldn’t get the cornice mounted around the shade with the inside angle brackets on the high side…so, I bought and spray painted these, and mounted one side of each cornice on wall.
