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

Simpson Strong-Tie 2 in. H x 2 in. W 20 Ga. Galvanized Steel Rigid Tie Connectors deliver a compact, dependable solution for stabilizing wood framing where precise alignment and strong load transfer are essential. Crafted from galvanized steel, these connectors resist corrosion and keep your structure’s joints true over time—even in damp or outdoor environments.

With a 2 in. by 2 in. footprint and a 20-gauge steel construction, this rigid tie offers a strong, unobtrusive presence in tight framing spaces. The design prioritizes rigidity and predictable performance, helping joists, beams, and headers stay square under load while minimizing unwanted movement that can compromise long-term stability.

Why this connector stands out

  • Corrosion-resistant galvanized steel. Built to withstand moisture and humidity, extending the life of deck and framing connections.
  • Rigid tie performance. Reduces racking and maintains precise alignment between connected members for reliable load transfer.
  • Compact 2" x 2" footprint. Finishes discreetly within tight framing areas without impeding other components.
  • Trusted engineering from Simpson Strong-Tie. A long-standing name in structural connectors, designed for consistent, field-proven results.
  • Official distribution channels. Sold through Simpson Strong-Tie authorized channels, not through third-party marketplaces.

Ideal use cases

This rigid tie connector is well-suited for a range of wood-frame applications where dependable stabilization matters. Consider it for:

  • Deck framing connections where joists meet beams or headers, ensuring square, durable joints.
  • Floor framing to minimize movement and maintain consistent load paths across spans.
  • Timber-frame or light commercial constructions that require a robust, unobtrusive tie between structural members.

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.
