The Simpson APLH210 2x10 Concealed-Flange Light Joist Hanger is a 14-gauge steel connector engineered by Simpson to join 2x joists to beams in custom outdoor living structures. Its sleek black powder coat over ZMAX galvanization delivers the structural performance builders expect from Simpson while maintaining the refined, finished appearance that decorative deck and pergola projects demand. Designed as part of the Outdoor Accents line, this hanger brings together corrosion resistance and clean aesthetics in a single concealed-flange package built for exterior framing.

Key Features

• Concealed-flange design with straight edges - creates a cleaner, more polished joist connection that keeps hardware discreet and elevates the finished look of exposed outdoor framing.
• ZMAX galvanization with black powder coat finish - provides extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications, so the hanger holds up against the elements without sacrificing appearance.
• Fits nominal 2x10 or 2x12 joists - gives builders flexibility across common lumber dimensions without needing a separate hanger size for each application.
• Made from 14-gauge steel - delivers the structural integrity required for load-bearing joist connections in outdoor structures while keeping the profile low-profile and trim.
• Complements the Outdoor Accents Mission Collection and Avant Collection - coordinates with other decorative hardware in those collections (fasteners sold separately) for a cohesive, intentional aesthetic across the entire build.
• Installs with standard Outdoor Accents Connector screws - uses the same fastener system as other Outdoor Accents hardware (16 screws required, sold separately as model SD10112DBB), simplifying procurement and keeping installation consistent across a project.

Why This Product

• Built for decorative outdoor builds without compromising structure - the concealed-flange profile and black powder coat finish make this hanger a natural fit for pergolas, decks, and custom outdoor living spaces where exposed hardware needs to look as good as it performs.
• Dual-layer corrosion protection for demanding exterior conditions - ZMAX galvanization paired with a black powder coat addresses the corrosion challenges specific to exterior and treated-wood environments, making this hanger a reliable long-term choice for outdoor framing.
• Versatile joist compatibility in one hanger - support for both 2x10 and 2x12 nominal lumber means this single connector covers multiple common joist sizes, reducing the need to source and stock multiple SKUs for a single project.
• Engineered by Simpson for the Outdoor Accents ecosystem - as part of Simpson's dedicated decorative hardware line, this hanger is designed to work seamlessly alongside other Outdoor Accents Mission Collection and Avant Collection components, making it easy to maintain a unified look across an entire outdoor structure.
