Good day and thank you for stopping by to take a look at this item from my store.

Today's posting is for a New, special order (pre-ordered leftover stock) Simpson Strong-Tie L-shaped end column cap bracket for 8x8" beams. But that's not correct. As you can see from the sticker it says it should be 8x8 on both beams. Because these are order Simpson failed to provide a specialized PN. The actual dimensions are 8x8, 12x8 for the horizontal post dimensions.

There are some minor scratches on the bracket but these do not affect the fit, form, or function of the item. Order will be packaged with multiple layers of protection.
