Using Simpson Strong-Tie to Attach a Deck to a Home

Simpson Stair-Stringer Connectors

Simpson Strong-Tie stair stringer connectors create a secure, concealed connection between stair stringers and carrying headers or rim joists, eliminating the need for costly framing or toe-nailing. Available in Stainless Steel (LSCSS) for maximum corrosion resistance and ZMAX (LSCZ) for versatile interior or exterior use. They accommodate both solid and notched stringers, including LVL or LSL materials with flange considerations, providing a reliable, long-lasting alternative to traditional stair framing methods.

These connectors firmly anchor stair stringers to prevent sagging or movement, create a clean, concealed connection, and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. By combining strength, adjustability, and durability, Simpson Strong-Tie stair stringer connectors simplify installation and deliver safe, stable stairs that last for years.

Why Buy Simpson Strong-Tie Deck Ties & Fence Brackets?

Simpson Strong-Tie deck ties and fence brackets deliver reliable, code-compliant connections that simplify construction while ensuring long-term performance. Built from durable galvanized steel and engineered for both outdoor and high-load applications, these connectors make decks, staircases, fences, and gazebos safer and more stable. With easy installation, versatile designs, and compatibility with a wide range of wood and metal members, Simpson connectors reduce labor time and provide peace of mind on every project.

Simpson Adjustable Stair-Stringer Connectors (Model LSC)

LSC connectors provide a versatile, concealed connection between stair stringers and the carrying header or rim joist. Field-adjustable to fit all common stair pitches, they work with both solid and notched stringers, eliminating the need for costly custom framing. These connectors simplify stair installation while maintaining code-compliant structural integrity.

Simpson Deck Joist Ties (Models DTT, DJT14Z)

Deck tension ties (DTT) and deck joist ties (DJT) are load-rated connectors that meet or exceed deck construction code requirements. DTT holdowns can also be used in light-duty shearwalls or braced wall panels, while DJT connectors securely attach 2x deck joists to the side of 4x or larger support joists. Both models install easily with nails or bolts, offering a safe and cost-effective solution for framing decks.

Simpson Deck Post Ties (Model DPTZ)

DPTZ deck post ties anchor vertical posts to stringers, rims, or other wood members. The DPT5Z fits 2x4 posts, and the DPT7Z is designed for 4x4 posts, providing a strong, stable connection that resists lateral forces and keeps decks structurally sound.

Simpson Gazebo Ties (Model GT)

GT gazebo ties add strength and stability to three-, six-, and eight-sided gazebo structures. By securely fastening rafters to the frame, these connectors reduce sway and movement, ensuring a safer and longer-lasting outdoor structure.
