The Simpson PFD26B 2x6 Post Frame Double Saddle Hanger from Simpson is a top-flange saddle hanger engineered specifically for post-frame construction. Dome-shaped joist nail holes guide nails into the correct installation angle automatically, while a folded seat raises the 2x joist slightly above the seat radius to create a tighter connection to the back of the hanger. The solid, one-piece top flange enables accurate and fast placement, making this saddle hanger a dependable choice for contractors and builders working with 2x6 framing members in pole barn, agricultural, and post-frame structures.

Key Features

• Installation prongs for quick positioning - prongs lock the hanger in place during setup so you can fasten with confidence and keep the job moving.
• Patented double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist, delivering greater connection strength while requiring fewer nails than conventional single-shear hangers.
• Dome-shaped joist nail holes - guide nails into the proper installation angle automatically, reducing the chance of misdriven fasteners and improving overall connection quality.
• Folded seat design - raises the 2x joist slightly above the seat radius, producing a tighter fit against the back of the hanger for a more secure, rigid connection.
• Solid one-piece top flange - simplifies placement and reduces installation time by giving you a stable, consistent surface to work from on every hanger.
• 20-gauge steel construction - provides reliable structural performance in demanding post-frame applications without adding unnecessary bulk to the connection point.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - offers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger well suited for outdoor, agricultural, and moisture-exposed environments where long-term durability matters.

Why This Product

• Engineered for post-frame construction - every design element, from the dome-shaped nail holes to the folded seat, is purpose-built for the demands of pole barn and post-frame framing, so the hanger works the way your application requires rather than being adapted from a general-purpose product.
• Stronger connections with fewer fasteners - the patented double-shear nailing system transfers load through two points on each joist, meaning you get a higher-strength connection without driving extra nails, saving both time and material on large-framing projects.
• Faster, more accurate installation - installation prongs, dome-guided nail holes, and a one-piece top flange work together to position and fasten the hanger correctly the first time, reducing layout errors and speeding up repetitive installations across a full structure.
• Built to last in tough environments - the G90 zinc galvanized finish protects the 20-gauge steel body against corrosion in the outdoor and agricultural settings where post-frame buildings are most commonly found, supporting long-term structural integrity with minimal maintenance.
