Product Description
The Simpson A311 3-5/8 in. x 11 in. x 2 in. Galvanized Angle from Simpson is a heavy-duty steel connector built for reliable 90 deg. connections across a wide range of framing, structural, and home repair applications. Formed from 12-gauge steel and finished with a G90 galvanized zinc coating, this angle bracket delivers the holding strength and corrosion resistance needed for both light-duty tasks and demanding structural connections where consistent, square joints are critical.
Key Features
- Versatile 90 deg. connector - handles a broad range of framing and home repair applications, reducing the need for multiple specialty brackets
- Stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening alone - adds mechanical reinforcement at the joint, improving overall connection integrity and long-term durability
- Promotes consistently straight and strong joints - helps keep corners square during assembly, resulting in a cleaner, more structurally sound finished project
- Made from 12-gauge steel - provides a sturdy, dependable connection suitable for both light-duty and structural load applications
- G90 galvanized zinc coating - delivers extra resistance against corrosion, making this angle a practical choice for outdoor projects or environments where moisture exposure is a concern
Why This Product
- Built-in corrosion protection for demanding environments - the G90 galvanized finish goes beyond basic coatings, giving this steel angle bracket lasting durability in outdoor, humid, or moisture-prone conditions
- A stronger alternative to nailing or screwing at an angle - by mechanically tying two members at the joint, this connector distributes load more effectively than fastening methods alone, adding real structural value
- Versatility that reduces project complexity - Simpson offers this angle for a wide range of 90 deg. connection scenarios, so one bracket type covers light-duty repairs and structural tie-ins alike
- Consistent, square corners every time - the rigid angle profile acts as a built-in guide during installation, helping ensure joints come out straight and true without extra layout work
