Hi Rob, this is McKenzie with Simpson Strong-Tie. I am very sorry to hear about your frustration with the ECCLR column caps. This particular one is made for nominal lumber which isn't a full 6". However, we make many of our connectors for rough sawn lumber as well some parts we even keep in stock at "rough" sizes. We appreciate your feedback and are very sorry our service did not meet your expectations. We want to help. Please share your experience with our Customer Service team by calling 800-999-5099.​​
