A sturdy bracket for industrial use

This bracket is a standout in Industrial and Scientific Hardware. As my tests showed, it is durable AND can carry weight with ease.Installation was also a breeze - it was easy to conceal and looks sleek. The only con is the price, but it's worth the investment for its reliability..

Pros
  • Sturdy, Durable, Easy Installation
Cons
  • Pricey

Challenges with these Simpson ties.

Starting with all the measurements is almost ridiculous. I use 8" x 10" full vertical bars centered on 7" x 7" plates. The baseplate is 7x7 so the water will drain I think. They work great and the finished beam is beautiful, but they are incredibly difficult to prepare. I started with an 8x10x18 training block to see if my idea would work at all. The vertical plate projects 5 3/4 inches, is 4 1/2 inches wide and 1/8 inch thick. I needed to cut a 6" deep piece into an 8x10 and I don't want a big

Pros
  • Made from 10 gauge steel
Cons
  • No instructions
