Simpson Strong Tie APT6 Flat T Strap 8-pack Outdoor

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE APT6 is a black powder-coated galvanized steel flat T strap designed for reinforcing and connecting outdoor structural assemblies. This connector provides lateral support at timber joints in fences, pergolas, arbors, and similar exterior wood-frame construction. The galvanized steel core delivers structural strength, while the black powder-coat finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance suited to exposed outdoor environments. Each pack contains 8 straps, making it practical for multi-joint projects. Installation is straightforward for contractors and experienced DIYers working on decorative or functional outdoor structures.

The APT6 flat T strap is intended for use in outdoor wood-to-wood connections where visible hardware is part of the finished aesthetic. Common applications include 6x6 post assemblies, beam-to-post joints on pergolas and shade structures, fence panel framing, and decorative accent hardware on landscape construction projects. The strap is designed to be fastened with Outdoor Accents structural screws and hex head washers for a complete, code-compatible connection. It suits both residential and light commercial exterior wood framing scenarios.
