Product Description
The Simpson PS218PC Piling Support Strap is a bolted piling strap engineered to deliver a strong, load-rated connection between wood members in both ornamental and structural applications. Designed by Simpson and built in the United States, this precut strap combines reliable structural performance with a sleek black powder-coat finish, making it equally suited for exposed installations where appearance matters as much as strength. Whether used in deck framing, dock construction, or other piling applications subject to wind and seismic forces, this strap is built to meet the demands of serious structural work without sacrificing a clean, finished look.
