Easy DIY with pergola hardware kit 20 August 2024

Simpson Strong-Tie is introducing its Outdoor Accents® DIY pergola kit for DIY enthusiasts, which contains all the connectors and fasteners needed for crafting a strong, stylish pergola.

The pergola kit includes straps, post bases and angle connectors from the Simpson Strong-Tie Outdoor Accents Avant Collection™. The hardware boasts clean lines, chamfered corners and a sleek black powder-coat finish. The kit also includes the Simpson Strong-Tie structural fastener and hex-head washer combo, which resembles a bolted connection but offers the easy installation of a screw. Free building plans and cut sheets for pergola designs are available on Simpson’s website.  

“Pergolas are a beautiful addition to nearly any outdoor living space, but some DIYers may feel they’re too complicated to build,” says Bryan Wert, director of connectors & lateral systems for Simpson Strong-Tie. “This Outdoor Accents DIY pergola kit includes all the hardware in one box, offering a quick and easy way to elevate your backyard. Just add wood to build a strong, beautiful pergola.”
