8 X POST CAP
$86.27
This galvanized post cap from Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to create a reliable connection between a post and a wood deck, making it a crucial component for enhancing structural integrity. Designed specifically for 8x nominal posts, it demonstrates superior strength compared to traditional methods of angled nailing or screw fastening, effectively reducing the risk of post splitting and eliminating the need for nailing into end grain, which can weaken joints. Constructed from durable 18-gauge steel and galvanized for enhanced corrosion resistance, this post cap is an essential choice for projects requiring a robust support system, although it is not recommended for non top-supported applications such as fences or unbraced carports.
Description
Post and column bases secure the bottom of posts or columns to concrete and are perfect for decks or patio covers. Models are available for attaching to existing hardened concrete, wet concrete, as well as wood. The BC series offers dual purpose post cap/base for light cap or base applications.
