Ratings & Reviews for Simpson Strong-Tie 2-in x 6-in Single 18 -Gauge ZMAX Concealed joist hanger

What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these brackets for their robust construction, strength, and reliability. Most highlight the metal build and zinc coating as superior to cheaper alternatives, with many noting they handle heavy loads and demanding conditions effortlessly. Reviewers consistently commend the easy installation, particularly when using screws instead of nails, and appreciate the low-profile design that fits standard boards like 2x6 and 2x8 lumber. Several customers report using them for versatile applications beyond original intent—fence bracing, rafter ties, joist hanging—and many express intent to repurchase. A few mention minor hand-nailing difficulties or specific drilling needs, but these rare concerns barely diminish the overwhelmingly positive reception.
