Learn more from Kris Rowberry of the National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives about how Simpson Strong-Tie helped resurrect a piece of roller coaster history with the strength and precision it takes to support an icon. When a retired corkscrew inversion needed a new home, our structural hardware made it possible to stand tall once again. It’s a high-speed blend of engineering, legacy, and lasting impact—preserving the thrills for generations to come.
In this post, Allison Chang shares how her son Jacob and his friend Arjun, seventh graders on a STEAM competition team, decided they needed a workbench for better organization. They chose the Simpson Strong-Tie WBSK workbench and shelving hardware kit, which provided everything they needed. With some guidance, they finished the project in two hours, customizing it to fit their preferences. This experience helped them gain practical skills and increased their confidence for future endeavors.
It started with a simple question: How can we bring our commitment to building safe, strong structures to the our customers’ outdoor spaces? From that idea our Outdoor Accents® decorative hardware solution was born.
