Simpson Strong-Tie introduces the latest time-saving
solution for building fences with 2" steel posts. The PGT2E
pipe-grip tie features a unique two-piece design that installs
quickly and provides a solid connection between fence stringer
and post. Snap the attachment plate onto the post for easy
positioning and secure the strap using one thread-tapping
screw (included).
• Faster to install than other two-piece fence-post brackets
• Safer to use, eliminating protruding carriage bolts
and sharp corners
• Unique locking tab for the strap means only one screw
is needed to fasten
