Simpson Strong-Tie® Wood Construction Connectors
Outdoor Accents
®
APA/APB/APDJT/APL/APT The new Outdoor Accents® decorative hardware product line features connectors and fasteners that bring strength and style to custom outdoor living structures. The Mission Collection® adds a hint of southwestern flair. Outdoor Accents post bases secure wood columns to concrete while providing a 1" stand-off height that helps reduce decay. These bases accommodate 4x4 and 6x6 lumber in both sawn and rough sizes.

Outdoor Accents angles make connections between beams and posts stronger and provide more consistent, straight corners for a variety of outdoor projects. There are two sizes to accommodate 4x and 6x lumber. Flat T and L straps provide reinforcement for connections where one lumber piece intersects another at a 90-degree angle. The angles and straps are also installed with the Outdoor Accents structural screws and hex-head washers.

The Outdoor Accents structural screw reduces installation time by driving easily without predrilling. When combined with the new load-rated hexhead washer, the solution delivers the appearance of a bolt while providing the easy installation and convenience of a screw for the installer.

Specifier to design concrete for uplift capacity. 4. Downloads shall be reduced where limited by capacity of the post. 5. All post fasteners are a Simpson Strong-Tie® SDWS22312DBB inserted through an STN22 washer. 6. Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).
