Capable of resisting elevated structural loads, Simpson Strong'Tie's End Column Cap uses fourteen 1/4 in. —x2-1/2 in. SDS screws per face for reliable shear and uplift performance. The low-profile delivery of SDS fasteners allows easier installation than bolts and greater bearing contact area beneath the beam flange. Temporary diamond holes assist alignment during installation. Designed for heavy-duty post-and-beam assemblies, it is ideal for high-capacity connections in decks, pavilions, and engineered timber projects.
