Product Description
The Simpson Outdoor Accents Avant Collection 90 deg. Angle for 2x lumber is a black powder-coated structural connector engineered to create mechanically strong, visually clean 90 deg. connections between beams, posts, rafters, and other members on outdoor living and home repair projects. Built from 14-gauge steel with ZMAX galvanization beneath a black powder coat finish, this angle bracket ties structural members together with consistent, straight corners while keeping exterior connections looking polished and intentional.
Key Features
- Straight edges and chamfered corners (Avant Collection design) - gives structural connections a clean, timeless appearance that enhances the look of any outdoor build rather than detracting from it
- Stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening alone - adds meaningful structural reinforcement to beam-to-post and rafter connections, improving safety and long-term integrity on outdoor projects
- Compatible with Outdoor Accents SD10112DBB connector screws (sold separately) - pairing with the correct fasteners delivers both a decorative finished look and maximum structural strength in a single installation
- Made from 14-gauge steel - provides a sturdy, rigid connection bracket capable of handling the demands of exterior structural applications
- ZMAX galvanization with black powder coat finish - the dual-layer corrosion protection makes this angle suitable for exterior environments and direct contact with treated wood, where moisture and chemical exposure are ongoing concerns
Why This Product
- Form and function in one bracket - unlike plain utility connectors, the Avant Collection design was built to be seen, making it a practical choice for exposed outdoor structures like pergolas, decks, and covered patios where aesthetics matter as much as strength
- Dual-layer corrosion protection for demanding environments - ZMAX galvanization combined with a black powder coat goes beyond standard finishes, making the APVA21 well suited for treated-wood contact and year-round exterior exposure
- Stronger connections without complex hardware - the 90 deg. angle format simplifies achieving consistent, square corners on structural connections while outperforming angled nailing or screw fastening alone
- Designed as part of a coordinated system - the Avant Collection pairs with matching Outdoor Accents connector screws, so the fasteners and bracket share the same black finish for a unified, professional result across the entire project
