Simpson Strong-Tie

Simpson Strong-Tie Fence Bracket

The new, patent-pending FBFZ flat fence bracket from Simpson Strong-Tie is designed to make the connection between rails and posts simple and strong. The flat-plate design, a new addition to the fence bracket line, is fabricated for a concealed look that shows less metal and is said to make installation easier by eliminating the need for toenailing or screwing. New, bendable tabs on each end of the bracket allow slight adjustments for attaching wood rails to a post while providing a strong connection to accommodate wood expansion and contraction. The FBFZ also can be used for handrail assemblies on porches and decks that are no more than 30″ above the ground. www.strongtie.com/fbfz
