Our speaker is Mike Wright, Territory Representative for Simpson Strong-Tie. Mike oversees all aspects of the Simpson Strong-Tie product line for customers and public agencies in the region of the Northern Bay Area and Redwood Coast. Mike has studied extensively regarding the building of decks and exterior structures, including current and future building codes, design requirements and practices, corrosion of metal products when in contact with pressure preservative treated wood and high exposure environments, and installation requirements for the many products used in the construction of decks.
