Simpson Strong-Tie Support Post PGS hight-adjustable

Kay's Tips for the support post PGS

The istallation is easy, because you can connect and screw together the parts, like for example the support post and a post while lying. Also you get a stable and weight-bearing post support. You creat a bore hole with a Diameter of  24mm into the end grained wood. 

The suport post or also named post anchor, will be fastened onto an existing concrete foundation. Opposite to this, H-post anchors will be seperately incased in concrete. So if you already have an existing foundation, please use the support post PGS. If ou don't, please use H-post anchors. To ensure against lifting forces, you set a bore hole for the rod dowel and the mandrel of the PGS support posts will be driven into the centre bore of the end grained wood.

After the  rod dowel Ø 10 will be put into the prepared bore hole and the baseplate will be fastened onto the end grained wood with the Spax-screws .

You fasten the PGS support post with a bolt-anchor onto the concrete foundation.
