The MPBZ moment post base from Simpson Strong-Tie provides moment resistance for wooden columns or posts on structures such as fences and decks. The overlapping sleeve design encapsulates the post, reportedly keeping it from rotating around its base when lateral loads are applied from above. The innovation reduces the need for diagonal knee bracing on tall deck posts, allowing for more design flexibility. Optional holes are provided for attaching additional trim material. Price ranges from $100 to $125. strongtie.com/mpbz
