• BC: install with 16d commons or 16dx2 1/2″ joist hanger nails.
• Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).
• To tie multiple 2x members together, the Designer must determine the fasteners required to join members to act as one unit without splitting the wood.
