## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am installing 8' 4x4 post to concrete. Is the height going to be an issue for this anchor?**
A: Should be ok.  I've installed 8 ft tall 4x4 fence posts on top of railroad ties (actually bridge timber) using these.  But it really depends on what you're building.  If this is a fence where you'll have lateral support with 2x4 or other material, then you're ok.

**Q: Can I use this at the top of a 4x4 to connect a 4x4 going across (making a letter T)?**
A: Actually Corran I think this would be a little too much overkill, as this bracket is super heavy-duty. Lowe's has a Simpson Strong-Tie item # 51759 that would work better.

**Q: height  from the base to top on the simpson strong tie fpbb44**
A: I measured the strong tie and from base to top it was 5 1/2 inches.

**Q: What is the. Height of the fpbb44 anchor**
A: I use a 1/2 inch by 6 inch hot dipped galvanized anchor bolt
