Simpson Strong-tie APVA6 Framing Angle Avant Collection

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG-TIE APVA6 is a black powder-coated framing angle connector from the Outdoor Accents Avant Collection, finished with ZMAX coating for enhanced corrosion resistance. Designed for structural framing connections in exposed outdoor applications, this angle connector provides a clean, decorative appearance without sacrificing load-bearing performance. It is installed by contractors, builders, and experienced DIYers working on decks, pergolas, fences, and similar exterior wood-frame structures. The combination of the ZMAX galvanized base and black powder-coat finish makes it suitable for contact with treated lumber in outdoor environments.

The APVA6 is intended for outdoor structural framing applications where both aesthetics and performance matter. Typical uses include beam-to-post connections, rafter ties, and angle bracing on residential decks, pergolas, arbors, and outdoor structures. The Avant Collection is engineered for visible hardware applications where a consistent, finished look is part of the project design. Installation falls within the scope of general carpentry and light structural framing work.
