Product Description
The Simpson Outdoor Accents Gazebo Tie for 6-Rafter Connections is a decorative structural connector engineered to add strength and rigidity to six-sided gazebo assemblies. Part of the Simpson Outdoor Accents line, this gazebo tie brings both visual appeal and structural performance to custom outdoor living structures, connecting six 2x rafters at the top of a six-sided gazebo with a finish designed to complement exposed hardware applications.
Key Features
- 18-gauge steel construction - provides a sturdy, reliable connection at the peak of your gazebo without adding bulk to the assembly
- ZMAX galvanization with a black powder coat finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications, keeping the connector protected in demanding outdoor conditions
- Connects six 2x rafters at the gazebo peak - purpose-built geometry ties all six rafter members into a single unified joint, improving overall structural rigidity
- Minimum nominal 2x6 rafter size required - ensures the connector is matched to adequately sized framing members for a safe, code-conscious installation
- Bend one time only - the connector is field-adjustable to your rafter pitch but must be set correctly the first time, so measure carefully before bending
- Fasteners sold separately - install with (18) SD10112DBB Outdoor Accents connector screws, allowing you to pair the tie with the correct hardware for a consistent, finished look
Why This Product
- Structural strength meets decorative appeal - the black powder coat finish is not just protective; it gives the connector a clean, intentional look suited to visible outdoor living structures where exposed hardware is part of the design
- Built for exterior conditions - ZMAX galvanization combined with a black powder coat offers extra corrosion resistance, making this tie a dependable choice for treated-wood framing and open-air gazebo construction subject to weather exposure
- Purpose-engineered for six-sided gazebo geometry - unlike general-purpose connectors, this tie is specifically designed for six-rafter peak connections, simplifying layout and ensuring all members are drawn into alignment at the top of the structure
- Part of a coordinated hardware system - as a Simpson Outdoor Accents product, this gazebo tie pairs with matching connectors and fasteners from the same line, giving builders a consistent finish across the entire outdoor structure
