The Post Frame Building Contractor

We've all heard the phrase "time is money", this is where the contactor and the (press on) bracket is better suited. Obviously when you're building post frame structures as a livelyhood, you want to streamline the process as much as possible to make it as efficient as can be. With the (press on) bracket the post frame building contractor can press bracket on in bulk at the shop and pull from this inventory as a job requires. Brackets already pressed onto a post and ready to set in the hole is a hugh time saver; especially when you consider once setting the pole, you are ready to pour concrete and move the project along.

In the illustrated scenario there are (14) posts and the (Nail on Bracket) bracket would be a good option.

Now, take this same number of posts and multiply it by the number of posts set by a post frame contractor over the course of multiple years. This is where the (Press On Bracket) is a hugh advantage on a contractor's bottom line.
