Simpson Strong-Tie has introduced its new Fence Planner Software.
The platform joins Simpson Strong-Tie’s suite of outdoor living solutions including its Deck Planner Software and Pergola Planner Software.
The Fence Planner is free, easy to use, and features an in-app tutorial to help select materials, dimensions, colors, and hardware.
Users can add patios, sheds, landscaping, or other design features, then view the entire design in a realistic 2D or 3D environment. Once the design is complete, the apps provide a materials list to allow users to start building right away.
“Designing and building unique outdoor living structures and even complete outdoor living spaces continues to excite and engage homeowners as they plan for remodeling or even new home purchases,” says Sam Hensen, Simpson Strong-Tie vice president and general manager for Connectors and Lateral Systems. “The new additions to our Outdoor Accents collection as well as our free, easy-to-use design apps provide contractors, builders, and lumberyards with almost limitless design options for beautiful custom outdoor living structures that are easy to install and tested for superior load strength.”
Simpson Strong-Tie has also rolled out additions to its Outdoor Accents line of ornamental hardware.
Fabricated from ZMAX galvanized steel with a black powder coat for corrosion protection, the hardware line offers a complete collection of tested, code-listed connectors and fasteners for building beautiful, strong custom outdoor living structures such as pergolas, pavilions, arbors, gazebos, and patio covers.
