Simpson Strong-Tie DTT1Z Deck Tension Tie - ZMAX

Use them on every deck

Great tension ties. I use them on every deck I build

Worked for me

I used these to bring my deck up to code (4 tie-points to the house in addition to the ledger board), and I also used them to reinforce the handrail guard posts. It is strange that Simpson makes two different ties (DTTZ1 and DTTZ2). The DTTZ1 is much cheaper and seems to work just as well. Glad to get my deck sturdy again!
