Holdowns and Tension Ties Reinforce Structural Connections
Holdowns and Tension ties are designed to strengthen critical structural connections where uplift and lateral forces occur. Commonly used in shear walls, deck connections, and wood framing, holdown anchors and tension ties help transfer loads from framing members to the foundation, reducing movement and improving overall structural stability.
-
Precision Fit for Critical Framing Connections
Tension ties and holdown connectors feature prepunched holes that allow accurate fastener placement and proper alignment during installation. These connectors reinforce high-load framing areas where standard fasteners alone may not provide sufficient strength.
-
Corrosion-Resistant for Outdoor Durability
Holdown anchors and deck tension ties are often installed in exterior environments where moisture and treated lumber are present. Many Simpson Strong- Tie connectors feature corrosion-resistant finishes like ZMAX or stainless steel to help maintain long-term strength and performance.
