The Strong-Tie PGTIC2Z-R interior corner pipe grip tie bracket is used to quickly attach your 2-3/8″ OD metal fence posts on the inside corner of your wooden fence. Just tighten the clamp bolts on the bracket, 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 pipe grip ties will keep your posts secured at the corners. Make sure to get all of your matching PGT2Z-R metal post brackets
to secure the straight sections of your fence. The ZMAX finish on this connector provides exceptional corrosion resistance to create a lasting connection.
