The Strong-Tie PGT2A Pipe Grip Tie bracket is used to quickly attach your 2-3/8" OD metal fence posts to wood fence rails, creating an unbelievably solid connection. Just tighten the clamp bolt on the bracket to tighten it on your post, zip in 4 SDS 1/4" x 1-1/2" heavy duty screws and you're done installing the tie. Whether you're replacing old rotted wood posts with sturdy metal posts or starting new fence construction, these galvanized post brackets are what you need. The PGT2A model is designed to be installed flush to the fence rail, but can also be field bent one time to accommodate corners or angled positions.
