Metal Strap Hurricane Tie Galvanized 18-Gauge H1

Hurricane ties are crafted to withstand strong winds and seismic activity by securely connecting trusses or rafters to the top of a structure's wall. The H1 model is intended for use with nominal 2x lumber. This U-shaped hurricane tie allows for quicker installation compared to using two separate single-sided ties. The embossments enhance stiffness in key areas, leading to better performance.
