Product Description
The Simpson Outdoor Accents Mission Collection Deck Joist Tie is a decorative structural connector from Simpson that attaches 1-3/4 in. wide by 5-1/2 in. or taller joists to the side of 4x or larger support posts, making it a practical and polished choice for custom outdoor decks and living structures. Built from 12-gauge steel with a ZMAX galvanized base coat topped by a black powder coat, it delivers the corrosion resistance required for exterior and treated-wood environments while maintaining the refined, Southwestern-inspired look that defines the Mission Collection. Installation is straightforward using Outdoor Accents structural wood screws and hex-head washer hardware, creating the clean appearance of a bolted connection without complicated assembly.
Key Features
- Mission Collection styling - adds a hint of Southwestern flair to outdoor structures, so functional hardware becomes a visible design element rather than an eyesore.
- Fits 1-3/4 in. wide by 5-1/2 in. or taller joists on 4x or larger posts - purpose-sized compatibility means the connector integrates cleanly with standard deck framing without modification.
- 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural integrity needed to reliably support joist-to-post connections in load-bearing outdoor applications.
- ZMAX galvanization with black powder coat finish - the dual-layer corrosion protection is specifically engineered for exterior use and treated-wood contact, extending the service life of the connection.
- Installs with Outdoor Accents structural wood screws and hex-head washers - the screw-driven installation achieves the look of a bolted connection, keeping the finished appearance consistent with premium custom outdoor builds.
Why This Product
- Form and function in one connector - unlike plain utility hardware, this deck joist tie is engineered to be seen, pairing structural performance with a decorative black finish that complements custom outdoor living spaces.
- Built for the outdoors from the ground up - the combination of ZMAX galvanization and black powder coating addresses the two main threats to exterior connectors: moisture and treated-wood chemical exposure, without relying on a single protective layer.
- Cohesive system design - as part of the broader Outdoor Accents Mission Collection, this tie pairs with matching screws and washers from Simpson so every visible fastener shares the same finished look across the entire structure.
- Simplified installation with a premium result - the use of structural wood screws with hex-head washers means faster assembly compared to through-bolt methods, while still delivering the clean bolted appearance that elevates deck aesthetics.
