Item Description
Simpson Strong-Tie BC80 - Galvanized Post Base for 8x

- 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
- 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
