Sleek Connections

Simpson Strong-Tie has added a new 2” structural wood screw to its expanding line of Outdoor Accents Essentials decorative hardware, joining the existing 3-1/2” and 5-1/2” sizes.

Ideal for use as a decorative structural fastener that can be used with either the line’s Mission or Avant Collection, the new screw can also be used separately to add flair to any outdoor project. It features a black double-barrier coating for corrosion protection across many outdoor applications and a Type-17 point to provide easy installation without the need for pre-drilling. 

Its low-profile head provides a clean, concealed appearance, while six-lobe recess ensures easy, secure driving and longer bit life. 

The fastener is code listed in IAPMO ER-192 and provides a versatile, high-performance fastening solution and a stylish finish to any DIY wood-to-wood projects as well as 2x, 2x rough and 3x lumber connections using Outdoor Accents hardware.
