We partnered with DIYer and landscape contractor Sara Bendrick to share fresh inspiration for spring projects that bring both function and style to your outdoor space. Known for her creative and practical builds, Sara shows how approachable DIY can be with the right plan and materials. From compact side yard upgrades to larger backyard features, her projects are designed to help you build something that fits your space, reflects your style and holds up over time.
With the launch of our new Outdoor Accents® APRTR rail connectors, we set out to create a DIY project that would be fun and easy to do. A simple fence trellis for climbing plants was a perfect choice and was easily completed in a couple of hours.
Back in August 2019, Los Angeles– and Berlin-based artist Tekena Koko staged an exhibition at his Los Angeles studio showcasing an installation of Simpson Strong-Tie Strong –Wall shearwalls. The art exhibition was called Highly Value Engineered (HVE) and included several of our Steel Strong-Wall Shearwalls®, along with a stack of connectors.
