Product Details

The BC post-base is designed to connect a post to a wood supporting member. The 18 ga material of this post-base makes it ideal for light-duty connections. The BC provides uplift and lateral resistance and includes sizes for both nominal and rough lumber.

Key Features

  • Provides a positive connection for a post to a wood deck
  • Stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening
  • Reduces the chance of the post splitting and eliminates nailing into end grain
  • Not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports)
  • ZMAX® galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
  • Opposing nail pattern to reduce wood splitting
  • Attains full allowable load using either common nail or pneumatic nail sizes
