How often has this happened to you? You are working on the job construction site, securing posts in the existing ground or floor to act as supports for the rest of the structure and then something slips and you’re injured. It doesn’t help the project if everyone keeps getting hurt, but how can you prevent these issues? Using a Simpson strong tie and a Simpson strong-tie post base for each post helps. Here’s how.
The Simpson Strong-Tie Post Base Holds the Post Securely
Until that post is firmly in place, you need these bases to hold on tightly. By using a tie base, the post doesn’t tilt, sway, fall, or cause a work-related accident. The post stays put until you secure it completely with the strong tie. You could put dozens of posts in position with the bases and not worry about them while you continue to secure them with the strong ties.
The Strong Ties Make It Impossible for the Posts to Move
The strong ties could do the job of securing posts on their own, but to make the posts really secure and prevent injuries on the job, you really need the bases too. Using both the bases and the ties, posts are completely immobile. With the posts secured with a Simpson strong tie and base, you and the rest of the crew can continue with construction as normal.
