Simpson Post Caps

Simpson Strong-Tie post caps are engineered to provide superior connection strength and protection for the tops of wood posts. These caps create a secure link between posts and beams or rafters, enhancing the overall stability of structures like decks, pergolas, fences, and outdoor framing. Beyond structural support, post caps shield wood from moisture infiltration and decay, extending the life of your construction while simplifying installation.

Simpson One-Piece Post Caps

• Simpson Post Caps (Models BC, BCS): Heavy-duty, one-piece post caps designed to connect beams to posts with lateral and uplift support. BC caps are ideal for standard applications, while BCS caps feature enhanced double-shear nailing for heavier-duty needs. These caps are commonly used in residential and light commercial projects to ensure consistent load transfer and stability.
• Simpson Post Caps (Models PCZ, EPCZ): Designed for fast and reliable post-to-beam connections, these caps accommodate general construction as well as termination points. PCZ caps are versatile for a broad range of beams and posts, whereas EPCZ caps are ideal for end-of-structure connections, providing additional reinforcement where loads converge.

Simpson Two-Piece Post Caps

• Simpson Galvanized Adjustable Post Caps (Models ACHZ, ZMAX): Two-piece post caps designed to provide adjustable, corrosion-resistant connections for varying post heights. Ideal for outdoor applications where posts may be uneven, these caps ensure secure lateral and uplift support.
• Simpson Post Caps (Models AC, LPCZ, LCE): Two-piece post caps that form strong, reliable connections between posts and beams. AC caps allow flexible nailing patterns for different load levels, LPCZ caps accommodate overhangs and deck framing, and LCE caps support a variety of lumber sizes, providing consistent strength and stability for new construction and retrofit projects.
