Simpson Strong-Tie Basic Connector Installations

[@bobyoung1698]

Simpson Strong-Tie never ceases to amaze me with their innovations for construction.

Picked up 6 Strong-Tie mending plates. Doing the job!

Spax structural screws at lowes are the best wood screws ive ever seen, fully threaded hex heads and made in USA.

Very helpful. They should add a QR code to Strong-Ties that link to this video.

I love SDS screws, but gotta say that I snap at least one a day. Also, Simpson states that several of their connectors work with #9 SDS, but have fun with that! They hang up and can snap, even without torquing.

I'll need to contact Simpson for ideas how to fix my garage overhead wall myself.

[@christopherdekonstrukt444]

Have 11' of garage wall at overhead door that is termite eaten. Need to replace the entire rough opening and the top plate and tie it in with existing undamaged wood, all while not disturbing the brick face on front of house.

What kind of screws I need to secure HTT5 ties to 4X4 support, the holes in the vertical part of the tie are very small in size

Hi, Sam! It sounds like you'd benefit from a 10d connector nail. 1 ½” x .148

Why are your hangers flared?

And we've learned that it's masonry, not masonary.
