This is a pipe grip tie designed for wood-to-metal fence rail connections in new fence construction and post replacement work. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003ePGT2A\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is built for fences that need the look of wood rails with the longer service life of galvanized steel posts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFor this specific model, the fit is straightforward: it is made for \u003cstrong\u003e2 inch nominal pipe with a 2-3\/8 inch outside diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is the sizing detail that matters most, because a fence tie either matches the post correctly or it does not. When paired with the specified fasteners, the PGT2A creates a solid mechanical connection between the rail and the pipe post without relying on a traditional wood post at that location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe body is made from \u003cstrong\u003e14-gauge steel\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003ezinc galvanized G90 finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. In real terms, that means you are getting a connector intended for outdoor exposure and everyday fence duty, while keeping installation simple. The galvanized finish helps resist corrosion, and the steel body gives the tie enough stiffness to hold the rail securely against the pipe post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eInstallation is quick compared to replacing failed wood posts. The tie wraps around the vertical pipe and tightens with the included \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 inch hex-head bolt\u003c\/strong\u003e. The rail side fastens with \u003cstrong\u003e(4) 1\/4 inch x 1-1\/2 inch Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws\u003c\/strong\u003e, which are not included. That hardware layout is important because it gives you a defined fastening pattern instead of improvising with generic screws on the jobsite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOne of the practical advantages of the Simpson Strong-Tie PGT2A Pipe Grip Tie is flexibility in layout. It can be used in standard straight runs, and the flanges can be field bent one time for corner or angled fence conditions. If you are tying into a 45 degree or 90 degree section, that saves time and lets you keep the metal post system consistent across the whole fence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis connector also solves a common fence repair problem. When a wood post fails from moisture and ground contact, the rails and pickets may still be worth saving. Swapping to a metal post and using pipe grip ties can extend fence life without changing the finished wood appearance from the yard side. That is why this style of hardware is popular for both repair work and new builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe PGT2A is best suited for fence builders, remodelers, property maintenance crews, and serious DIY users who want a cleaner way to connect wood rails to steel pipe posts. If your project uses 2-3\/8 inch outside diameter posts and wood rails, this is the right type of connector to keep the build simple, repeatable, and durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits-1\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Real Fence Repairs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ssttoolbox.widen.net\/content\/s9f9ojrqus\/jpeg\/C_PGT2-R_InstPho_Pho_Instld_PipeGripTies-Fence_C0.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie PGT2A Pipe Grip Tie installed on a galvanized steel fence post securing a wood rail on an outdoor privacy fence\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eIf you are replacing failed wood posts, this connector gives you a practical path to keep wood rails while moving to metal support posts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003eDesigned for wood fence rails attached to metal fence posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003cli\u003eIdeal for replacing damaged wood posts or building a new fence with steel posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003c\/ul\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits-2\" class=\"acc flip\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFits Common 2-3\/8 Inch Fence Pipe\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ssttoolbox.widen.net\/content\/qsks6mczjo\/jpeg\/C_PGT2-R_ProdPho_Pho_Prod_PipeGripTies_C0.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"pipe grip tie style fence connector shown as a wraparound bracket with rail mounting tabs for metal post to wood rail fastening\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThe main buying checkpoint here is pipe size.
