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

For serious framing projects where strength, reliability, and longevity matter, the Simpson Strong‑Tie galvanized steel strap stands up to the task. This long, sturdy connector is designed to handle demanding wood framing connections with ease and confidence.

Key dimensions and materials reflect its purpose: a 23.31-inch length paired with a 2.06-inch width, crafted from 16-gauge galvanized steel. The galvanization delivers excellent rust resistance, making it a smart choice for exterior, damp, or high-humidity environments where corrosion can threaten structural longevity. Designed for joist connections, it uses 16d joist nails to secure the strap firmly in place, delivering dependable load transfer across the joint.

What makes this strap unique

  • Extended length for fewer joints: At 23.31 inches, this strap covers a larger connection area in a single piece, reducing the need for splice points and simplifying installation.
  • Rugged, corrosion-resistant material: 16-gauge galvanized steel stands up to weather, moisture, and wear, ensuring long-term performance in outdoor framing and high-moisture settings.
  • Optimal width for stability: The 2.06-inch width provides a broad bearing surface for secure seating of fasteners and consistent force transfer.
  • Professional-grade engineering: From Simpson Strong-Tie, a trusted name in structural connectors known for reliability in framing and building projects.
  • Versatile applications: Ideal for rafter-to-wall ties, floor joist reinforcement, header-to-king-stud connections, and blocking/bracing where a continuous strap is advantageous.

Practical uses and scenarios

  • Rafter ties in attic or roof framing to maintain geometry under wind and load.
  • Floor joist reinforcement in remodels or new builds where a single long strap improves load transfer and reduces fragmentation.
  • Header connections in load-bearing walls to stabilize framing during shifting loads.
  • Exterior deck framing and other outdoor structures where corrosion resistance is crucial for longevity.

Installation tips

  • Use 16d joist nails as specified for secure, durable connections consistent with Simpson Strong-Tie guidelines.
  • Place the strap so fasteners engage solid wood and seat evenly; drive nails at the ends and along the strap in a staggered pattern to maximize strength.
  • Ensure clean contact surfaces to promote proper seating and corrosion protection, especially in outdoor or damp environments.
  • Regularly inspect for signs of corrosion or deformation in exposed locations and replace if wear is evident.

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.
