The PFCB and PFC post frame column bases and angles are our newest post base products and part of an expanding line of post frame construction solutions. These dry-set parts connect your glulam, nail-lam, or solid sawn post to the foundation with either an angle bracket pair (PFC) or a mechanically clinched assembly (PFCB) sized for a variety of widths. The wood side takes 1/4″-diameter SDS screws and the anchorage side takes 5/8″-diameter anchors. Installation is fast and easy with no through-bolts. They’re G90 galvanized, and HDG or black powder coat is available by special order.
