The HES (heavy engineered strap) replaces traditional heavy restraint straps in roof and floor construction. Reducing the thickness to 1.5mm allows the HES strap to span over the top of floor joists and the bottom chords of trusses without the need for notching.

Complient with BS EN 845-1, Simpson Strongtie heavy engineered restraint straps are less than 40% of the weight, quicker to fit and overcome many fixing problems associated with traditional heavy straps.

A quality Post Base made by Simpson Strong-Tie. Used to raise timber posts and timber framework above ground level, which prevents rotting caused by moisture from ground contact. The height/level of the square support plate can easily be adjusted after installation which is useful when building structures on uneven ground. Suitable for structurally supported timber posts and framework that need to last a long time e.g. for a basic timber porch or decking framework. Not recommended for free standing posts e.g. fence posts.

A post support fitting for installing timber posts and timber framework. The timber sits on the Post Support out of ground contact, which prevents rotting due to moisture from the ground. The height/level of the square support plate can easily be adjusted which is useful when building structures on uneven ground. Suitable for structurally supported timber posts and framework that need to last a long time e.g. for a basic timber porch or decking framework. Not recommended for free standing posts e.g. fence posts.

Installation: drill a 22mm diameter hole in the end of the timber post for the threaded bar to fit into, the depth of hole will vary depending on how much elevation is required. The post should sit firmly over the threaded bar down to the square support plate. The two nuts are tightened against each other to lock the support plate in the required position. The bottom of the post support is designed to be bolted down to a concrete base, we recommend using M10 Thunder Bolts.

- Welded construction, galvanised steel
- Total Height - 255mm
- Threaded bar - 22mm diameter
- Square support plate - 80 x 80mm x 4.5mm
- Bolt Down Plate - 80 x 80mm x 4.5mm

A post support fitting for installing timber posts. The post sits on the socket out of ground contact, which prevents the timber from rotting due to moisture from the ground. It is suitable for structurally supported timber posts that need to last a long time e.g. for a basic timber porch or lean-to. Not recommended for free standing posts e.g. fence posts.

Installation: drill an 18mm diameter hole in the end of the timber post for the Ground Socket to fit into, the hole needs to be at least 155mm deep for the post to sit firmly over the metal dowel down to the square support plate. The bottom of the ground socket is designed to be concreted into the ground, the cross bar ensures a secure fixing within the concrete.
