Discover how Simpson Strong-Tie's new Outdoor Accents® Essentials hardware line is helping homeowners and DIYers create custom outdoor structures that combine strength and beauty. Senior Product Manager Lydia Poulsen shares the inspiration behind the expanded product offering and highlights a garden arbor project designed to bring beauty and function to the backyard.
One of the ways many homeowners increase the enjoyment (and monetary) value of their property is by adding a well-designed deck, pergola or other outdoor structure to their backyard. Whether it’s for entertaining or just chilling with a good read and a bracing beverage, a beautiful outdoor living space makes any backyard activity more desirable. Perhaps that’s why, in a 2017 survey, 25% of National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) remodelers reported adding a deck as one of their most common projects, and the figure was nearly identical for new home construction.
