Strength and Beauty for Outdoor Living Structures
The new Outdoor Accents® line of decorative connectors and fasteners for wood construction provides both design elegance and structural strength to outdoor living areas. The hardware is made of galvanized steel with a black powder coat for corrosion protection. All hardware has been tested, is code listed and can be used to resist high-wind or seismic loads.

The Outdoor Accents line includes hex-head washers, structural wood screws, connector screws, post bases, flat T and L strap ties and 90-degree angles.

A New Spin on Jack Hangers
The simple design of the new LSSJ field-adjustable jack hanger makes connecting jack rafters to hip/valley members intuitive and quick, resulting in lower labor costs.

Featuring a versatile, hinged seat, the LSSJ is easily field-adjustable to typical rafter slopes. It ships prebent with a 45° skew, making it ready to place for the most typical rafter conditions, and can be field-adjusted for lesser skews. Additionally, it can be installed as a retrofit, enabling installers to first tack all the rafters into place without pausing and to then install the hanger later. Two versions of the LSSJ hanger are available – skewed left or right.
