@milwaukeetool vibe to consolidate the mix around the hold downs. The @strongtie Anchor Mates make the STHD14 install easy and reduce the potential for spalling. #engineering #skilledtrades #framer

Recently a few of you have asked why we form and pour our own concrete. The short answer is because we always have. Summer of 89 was my first time helping the crew pour footings ( I was 12). We self perform because we can, we do a great job (according to the framers) and because we are more cost effective.

I hated it when I was younger, now I enjoy it....but only because I enjoy working with @pnwframer and Jordan.

Big news!

I'm excited to finally share a project I’ve been working on now that it’s out in the world 🙌 You may already know @strongtie Outdoor Accents Avant and Mission decorative hardware. These black powder-coated connectors and fasteners are built for strength and designed for style 💪

Now we’re expanding the lineup with an even wider range of connectors, including joist hangers, post bases, angles, hurricane ties, and more all in that same sleek black finish with Outdoor Accents Essentials.🖤

Whether you’re building a deck, pergola, fence, or patio cover, you’ve got even more ways to get the job done right and make it look good doing it 🔨

Just like your home, your deck can’t be expected to last or keep you safe unless it’s correctly built and maintained. Most experts agree that the average life expectancy of a wood deck is 10 to 15 years and estimate that millions of decks in the US may be presently unsafe. The good news, however, is that attention to deck safety can prevent most deck collapses.

If you’re building a deck or already have one, you should know how to evaluate its construction to make sure it’s structurally sound and safe. Using the proper structural connectors and fasteners, as well as regular maintenance, are the keys to a safe, strong deck. It’s a good idea to inspect your deck annually to make sure all your connections are strong.

5 Warning Signs of an Unsafe Deck:
1. Missing connections
2. Loose connections
3. Corrosion of connectors and fasteners
4. Rotting wood
5. Cracked wood

If you’ve determined your deck is unsafe, you’ll need to repair, retrofit, or rebuild it. Deck safety is a priority at Simpson Strong-Tie, and we provide a number of resources for building decks.

It’s Deck Safety Month 🔨 and as an engineer, I know how important the connections are when building or retrofitting a deck.

If you’re working on a deck project, one resource I love to recommend is the @strongtie Deck Connection and Fastening Guide. 📘

It walks through how to recognize defects and deficiencies in existing decks and provides guidance for building strong, safe, long-lasting deck structures. It also breaks down the key connections in a typical deck, like ledger connections, joist-to-beam, and beam-to-post, and highlights the building-code requirements from the 2018, 2021, and 2024 IRC/IBC. 📐

Whether you’re getting acquainted with deck design or staying up to date on IRC revisions that may require engineering changes, it’s a really helpful reference.

Deck safety starts with the details.
