Im building a garage using a post and beam foundation.
I have railway ties for my posts and I plan to laminate three 2 x 8's for the beams. Question is how should I attach them to the posts. Ive seen adjustable post bases that will work like these but they are $16 each!
Also regular 6x6 post hardware is too big for the 4.5inch width of the laminated beam.
Any advice here or am I left to pay more for the attachment hardware than the beams will cost?
