Like the OWT Post base, the new 6×6 Post Base Ironwood OWT-Lite by OZCO is beautifully designed and features some of the same patented features as the Original.  It also features a 1-inch offset to meet international residential building code for installation using non-rot-resistant lumber.  The OWT Lite products are simplified versions of the original OWT products designed to meet the minimum load requirements and are offered at a lower price point.  The main differences between OWT-Lite and Original are the OWT-Lite version has plates on 2 sides instead of all 4 and is fabricated with steel that is 40-percent thinner.
