Post Base BC60Z 6x Lumber ZMAX Galvanized

About This Product The Simpson Strong-Tie BC60 6x Lumber ZMAX Galvanized Post Base provides a secure connection between a nominal 6x wood post and a supporting wood member. Designed for light-duty post-base applications, the BC60 provides a stronger and more reliable connection than conventional angled nailing or screw fastening. Manufactured from 18-gauge steel with a ZMAX galvanized finish, the BC60 offers enhanced corrosion resistance for exterior environments and treated-lumber applications. Its design helps reduce the potential for post splitting by eliminating fastening into the end grain. The post base is intended for top-supported structures and is not recommended for fences, unbraced carports, or other non-top-supported installations.
