Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the BC4SS stronger than standard nailing methods?
- The BC4SS post cap creates a positive mechanical connection between the post and the wood deck structure, which is stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening. It also eliminates nailing into end grain, which reduces the risk of the post splitting over time.
- Is the BC4SS suitable for use in coastal or high-moisture environments?
- Yes. The BC4SS is made from stainless steel, which provides high and severe corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for outdoor applications in coastal, high-humidity, or otherwise corrosive environments.
- What fasteners should be used to install the BC4SS?
- The BC4SS should be installed with stainless-steel 16d common nails to maintain corrosion compatibility with the stainless-steel connector.
- Can the BC4SS be used for fences or unbraced carports?
- No. The BC4SS is not recommended for non top-supported installations, such as fences or unbraced carports. It is designed for applications where the top of the post is fully supported, such as deck or patio cover construction.
