Simpson Strong-Tie

Pipe-Grip

Ties make it easy to attach wood fence rails to metal fence posts.

Galvanized fence posts typically last longer than wood posts, extending the life of the fence by helping to

avoid a common problem: rotting fence posts. Now you can get the look of a wood fence with the

durability of steel posts.
