Simpson Strong-Tie adds to Outdoor Accents

Simpson Strong-Tie introduced a new three-piece bottle opener kit, a 4x lumber gable plate, and a series of gazebo ties to its popular line of Outdoor Accents decorative hardware.  

Designed to provide contractors, homebuilders and DIYers with the essential hardware for incorporating timeless beauty and tested strength into pergolas, decks and other outdoor living spaces, the Outdoor Accents line of code-listed decorative wood connectors and fasteners accommodates both nominal and rough lumber, providing additional design and building flexibility.  

Available now, the bottle opener comes as a three-piece kit that installs easily on any wood post and complements both the Mission Collection and Avant Collection product styles. The kit features a sturdy, black, metal bottle opener, a UV-protected composite plastic backplate and removable catch cup to collect bottle caps. The catch cup even has drain holes in the bottom so it won’t overflow with suds and sodas. 

“We’re excited to introduce these new products to the Outdoor Accents line and provide contractors and builders with even more great design options to choose from,” said Sam Hensen, Simpson Strong-Tie vice president and general manager for Connectors and Lateral Systems. “Both the Mission and Avant collections continue to offer builders stylish design options for beautiful custom outdoor living structures that are easy to install and tested for superior load strength.”
