The BCS provides both lateral and uplift support and features double-shear nailing that distributes the load through two points for optimal strength.

Key Features

  • Opposing flanges provide increased lateral resistance
  • Double-shear nailing for optimal strength
  • Sized specifically for multi-2x widths

Finish

  • Galvanized, ZMAX® coating, or stainless steel; see Corrosion Information

Installation

  • Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
  • Do not install bolts into pilot holes
  • Install dome nails on beam; drive nails at an angle through the beam into the post below to achieve the table loads
