The Outdoor Accents® APRTA is designed to connect two wood members at a 90° angle. This Rigid Tie angle fastens the members on two sides, eliminating the need for angle bracing. Manufactured to high-quality standards to ensure solid performance, this Rigid Tie connector features ZMAX® galvanization with a black powder-coat finish for added corrosion resistance. As part of the Outdoor Accents Accessories line, this decorative hardware connector can be used with either the Mission Collection® or Avant Collection™, as well as separately to add flair to any outdoor project.
