Product Description
The Simpson PFD24B 2x4 Galvanized Post Frame Double Saddle Hanger is a top-flange saddle hanger engineered specifically for post-frame construction applications. Built to accept a nominal 2x4 joist, it features dome-shaped joist nail holes that guide nails into the proper installation angle for a precise, reliable connection every time. A folded seat raises the 2x joist slightly above the seat radius to enable a tighter connection to the back of the hanger, and the solid, one-piece top flange supports accurate, fast installation. Finished with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating and formed from 20-gauge steel, this saddle hanger is a dependable choice for contractors and builders tackling post-frame structures, pole barns, and agricultural buildings.
Key Features
- Installation prongs for quick hanger placement - prongs hold the hanger in position during setup, reducing fumbling and speeding up the overall framing process.
- Patented double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist, delivering greater strength with fewer nails so you use less hardware without sacrificing performance.
- Dome-shaped joist nail holes - guide nails into the correct installation angle automatically, helping ensure a code-compliant, properly angled fastening without guesswork.
- Folded seat design - raises the 2x joist slightly above the seat radius for a tighter fit against the back of the hanger, resulting in a more secure, snug connection.
- Solid one-piece top flange - provides a stable, consistent bearing surface that makes positioning and nailing faster and more accurate on the job site.
- Zinc Galvanized G90 coating on 20-gauge steel - delivers added corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in the moisture-prone and outdoor environments common to post-frame construction.
- Available in coordinating model variants - PFDSB models support double 2x applications and PFDLB saddles are designed for LVL support, so you can match the right hanger to every framing condition on the same project.
Why This Product
- Engineered for post-frame efficiency - the combination of installation prongs and a one-piece top flange means this saddle hanger goes up faster than conventional connectors, helping crews maintain pace on large post-frame or pole barn projects.
- Stronger connections with fewer fasteners - the patented double-shear nailing design spreads load across two shear points per joist, giving builders a structurally sound purlin-to-header connection without overloading the lumber with excess nails.
- Built for demanding outdoor environments - the G90 galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to the exposed, high-humidity conditions typical of agricultural and commercial post-frame buildings, supporting long-term connector integrity.
- Precision-guided installation reduces errors - dome-shaped nail holes and a folded seat work together to position both fasteners and joists correctly the first time, lowering the risk of misaligned connections and costly rework in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the nominal joist size this hanger is designed to support?
The Simpson PFD24B is designed for a nominal 2x4 joist size, making it suitable for standard post-frame construction applications using 2x4 lumber.
What fasteners are required to install the PFD24B?
Installation requires either 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails or 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails. Note that 0.148 in. x 3 in. purlin nails must be driven at an angle through the purlin into the header, while 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. purlin nails are driven at an angle into the purlin but do not penetrate into the header. Combining nail types as specified helps achieve full table loads.
What is the difference between the PFD24B and the PFDSB or PFDLB models?
The PFD24B is designed for single 2x4 joist support. The PFDSB models are intended for double 2x support applications, while the PFDLB saddles are specifically designed for LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) support.
What corrosion protection does the PFD24B offer?
The PFD24B is coated with a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish, which provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance to help the hanger perform reliably in demanding post-frame construction environments.
