In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Meet the Simpson Strong-Tie 2 in. H x 6.56 in. W 18 Ga. Galvanized Steel Joist Hanger—a purpose-built connector engineered to secure joists to beams in outdoor framing projects with precision and long-term durability.

Key specifications that matter on the job

  • Material and gauge: 18-gauge galvanized steel for corrosion resistance in decks, porches, and other exterior structures.
  • Dimensions: 2 in. tall by 6.56 in. wide, providing a compact yet sturdy cradle for the joist.
  • Fasteners: Designed to work with standard 16d joist nails to form a secure, code-friendly connection.
  • Minimum heel height: 4-3/8 in., set to ensure reliable bearing and proper alignment of the joist on the beam.

Why this joist hanger stands out

Where generic metal straps fall short, this hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie delivers a purpose-built solution for load transfer and stability. The 18-gauge galvanizing provides durable outdoor performance, helping resist rust and corrosion season after season. The precise 2" x 6.56" footprint is designed to cradle the joist securely, making installation quicker and more predictable than improvised methods.

Ideal use cases

  • Residential deck framing where a reliable, ready-made joist-to-beam connection is needed.
  • Outdoor sheds, pergolas, and covered patios requiring sturdy, long-lasting joist support.
  • Projects that demand consistent alignment and bearing to minimize creaks and movement over time.

How it solves common problems

  • Prevents joist rotation and movement by providing a dedicated seat and dedicated load path to the beam.
  • Enhances durability in exposure to weather thanks to galvanized steel that resists rust and staining.
  • Offers a straightforward, repeatable installation process when paired with standard 16d nails, reducing on-site guesswork.

Whether you’re a professional carpenter or a confident DIYer, this Simpson Strong-Tie joist hanger brings professional-grade reliability to your project. It’s designed to work with standard lumber dimensions and common fasteners, delivering predictable performance and peace of mind from the first nail to the final deck board.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
