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 3.6 in. H x 2 in. W Saddle Rafter Tie, crafted in 18-gauge galvanized steel to deliver a dependable connection in roof framing. This compact saddle rafter tie combines rugged strength with a slim profile, designed to help resist rafter spread and maintain roof integrity under load. Built by Simpson Strong-Tie, a name you can trust for structural connectors, it pairs precise dimensions with proven performance for both new construction and retrofit projects.

  • Dimensions and material β€” 3.6 in. height by 2 in. width, made from 18-gauge galvanized steel for solid strength and long-lasting corrosion resistance.
  • Fastening method β€” designed for use with 8d joist fasteners to securely anchor the tie into framing members.
  • Durability β€” galvanized finish guards against rust and weathering, ensuring reliable performance in exterior roof assemblies.
  • Ideal applications β€” perfect for residential roof framing, repairs, and new builds where a dedicated saddle tie is needed to control rafter movement and maintain roof geometry.
  • Unique value proposition β€” the saddle profile distributes load more evenly across rafters than generic braces, delivering steady stability even as loads change with wind and temperature.
  • Installation considerations β€” align the tie to the rafter configuration and fasten on both sides with 8d nails per your project plan to achieve a reliable, square connection.

Whether you’re reinforcing an aging roof or framing a new structure, this 3.6 in. x 2 in. saddle rafter tie from Simpson Strong-Tie brings precision engineering, durable galvanization, and a streamlined install that helps you complete projects with confidence and long-term resilience.
