Simpson SDS Screw Column Caps
SDS screw column caps ensure strong connections between columns and beams. They use our Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, making installation quicker and less bulky compared to traditional bolts. Made from durable steel, these connectors come in various types to fit many needs. We offer column caps with or without legs, options for the ends and crossings of beams, and caps for connecting multiple wood beams on top of a column.
