The BC post base is designed to connect a post to a wood supporting member. The 18-gauge 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

  • Opposing nail pattern to reduce wood splitting
  • Attains full allowable load using either common nail or pneumatic nail sizes
  • Light-gauge material designed for light-duty applications

Material

  • 18 gauge

Finish

  • Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX® coating or stainless steel. See Corrosion Information.

Installation

  • Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
  • Do not install bolts into pilot holes
  • BC post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations
