Simpson APVGP Decorative Gable Plates are designed to add strength and stability between a wood beam and three angled wood braces. The black powder coating over ZMAX material provides excellent corrosion resistance, while providing a clean, finished look to any outdoor application. These plates are visually appealing and structurally sound. The Avant collection features chamfered corners and straight edges for a clean and simple look once installed. These plates are installed with the Outdoor Accents structural screws and hex head washers, not included.
