Product Description
Simpson Strong-Tie Outdoor Accents Hex-Head Washer brings the bold, decorative look of a traditional bolt connection to exterior wood framing projects - without the complexity of through-bolting. Finished in a striking black Quik Guard coating built for outdoor durability, this washer is engineered specifically to work with Outdoor Accents post bases, T and L straps, and angles. Its patent-pending design dramatically speeds up installation compared to conventional through-bolt methods, making it a practical choice for both professional builders and DIY home projects involving wood-to-wood fastening. Code-listed under IAPMO, it delivers confidence on projects where compliance matters.

Why This Product
- Decorative look with structural intent - if you want exposed hardware that looks like a heavy bolt connection on post bases or straps, this hex-head washer delivers that aesthetic while being part of a code-listed fastening system.
- Faster installation than through-bolting - the patent-pending design eliminates the drilling, alignment, and hardware required by traditional through-bolt methods, which translates directly to saved time on wood-to-wood connections.
- Built for outdoor conditions - the black Quik Guard coating is specifically formulated for exterior use, so the hardware maintains its finish and integrity when exposed to the elements over time.
- Engineered system compatibility - because this washer is designed exclusively for Outdoor Accents post bases, T and L straps, and angles, it fits into a coordinated, code-listed decorative hardware system rather than a generic hardware solution.
