8 in. Pier with Zmax Strap is a pier support system. It uses a zinc coated strap so it is effective for multiple uses. High tensile bond strength attaches to the pier.

These are great for installing non-permanent structures, such as above ground swimming pool decks and backyard pergolas for example. They will only support vertical loads, so be sure to properly brace any post or beam attached.
At our home, these are holding up a 9x18 deck (10 blocks), 12x12 pergola (4 blocks), and an 8x8 raised playhouse/slide structure (4 blocks). My only complaint is that it is very common to get them with crooked brackets, they will still work fine, but can detract from the appearance of your finished project. As stated, the brackets are name brand Simpson Z-Max Strong-Tie brackets, so should last for many years. Our local store also seems to have trouble keeping them in stock, so it's always wise to check stock before you start a big project like I did!

This block services it's purpose. However it will be helpful if manufacturer sticks a label with recommendations of how deep it should be into the soil if it holds certain high of four-by-four wood with a weight on the wood. For stability and reduce chance of rework.
