Product Description
The Simpson Outdoor Accents Mission Collection APGP612 6:12 Pitch Gable Plate is a decorative structural connector engineered to reinforce the connection from a wood beam to three angled wood braces at a 6:12 pitch. Part of the Simpson Outdoor Accents line, it blends Southwestern-inspired Mission Collection styling with genuine structural performance, making it a fitting choice for pergolas, covered patios, and other custom outdoor living structures. Formed from 12-gauge steel with a ZMAX galvanized base coat and black powder coat finish, this gable plate is built to hold up in exterior environments and treated-wood applications while delivering a clean, finished look that enhances the appearance of exposed framing connections.
Key Features
- 6:12 pitch geometry - matches the connector precisely to the roof or gable angle of your structure, ensuring a flush, professional fit without field modification
- 12-gauge steel construction - provides a rigid, durable connector that maintains structural integrity at the beam-to-brace connection point
- ZMAX galvanization with black powder coat finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications, extending the service life of the connector in demanding outdoor conditions
- Designed for installation with Outdoor Accents structural screws and hex-head washers (fasteners sold separately) - ensures the complete assembly maintains a consistent, coordinated appearance across the structure
- Connectors must be installed in pairs for published load values - planning for paired installation from the start keeps your project within rated performance expectations; for single part installations, use half the listed values
- Compatible with 6x or larger member sizes - suits the heavy timber framing commonly used in outdoor structures where both strength and aesthetics matter
Why This Product
- Structural reinforcement with decorative intent - unlike plain utility hardware, this gable plate is specifically designed to be seen, reinforcing the beam-to-brace connection while adding a purposeful Southwestern-inspired design element to exposed outdoor framing
- Dual-layer corrosion protection built for the outdoors - the combination of ZMAX galvanization and black powder coating provides a higher level of protection than standard galvanized hardware, making it well suited for exterior structures and applications involving treated lumber
- Engineered for a specific pitch - not a compromise fit - with geometry purpose-built for a 6:12 pitch, this plate seats correctly against angled braces without shimming or trimming, which supports a cleaner installation and more reliable connection
- Part of a coordinated hardware system - designed to work with Simpson Outdoor Accents structural screws and hex-head washers, this plate can be paired with matching connectors across a project for a unified look that carries through every visible joint
