Not only do angles make joints stronger, they also provide more consistent, straight corners. Simpson strong-tie offers a wide variety of angles in various sizes and thicknesses to handle light-duty jobs or projects where a structural connection is needed. Some can be bent (skewed) to match the project. For outdoor projects or those where moisture is present, use our zmax zinc-coated connectors, which provide extra resistance against corrosion (look for a "z" at the end of the model number). install with 8D common nails.
