New from Simpson: Stainless DTT1 Deck Tension Ties
, 1 min reading time
Makes staying up to code in coastal areas much easier!
The DTT1SS is a marine-grade Type 316 stainless steel tension tie designed for use in seaside and harsh environments. It provides reliable lateral-load connections that offer a safe, code-compliant solution to secure decks to homes.
The DTT1SS design provides secure deck attachments without requiring access to interior floor joists. This makes installation simple. Other tension ties are much more intrusive, requiring the installer to make connections from inside the house. In addition to ease of installation, the DTT1SS is also code-compliant. This deck tension tie design meets International Residential Code (IRC) standards for four 750lb deck-to-house lateral load connections per IRC R507.9.2(2).
Take a look at the design in the video below. (Note that this video highlights the ZMax version.)
This deck tension tie is ideal for both new construction and retrofits, offering a safe and code-compliant way to secure decks to homes. Now in stainless for coastal construction, high-moisture areas, and preservative-treated wood applications.
