Post support bracket system

A post support bracket system for structural attachment of a post to a framing member, comprising:

• a bracket configured to receive a rotational action from the application of a lateral load against the post, the bracket having a vertical portion attached to the framing member and a horizontal portion for securing the post, the vertical portion and the horizontal portion having a plurality of apertures;
• a first set of fasteners in communication with the vertical portion, the first set of fasteners passing through the plurality of apertures in the vertical portion;
• and
• a second set of fasteners in communication with the horizontal portion, the second set of fasteners passing through the plurality of apertures in the horizontal portion to secure the post;
• wherein the first set of fasteners are selectively spaced to produce a pinching compressive force between the first set of fasteners in the framing member as the lateral load is applied to an upper portion of the post, the spacing of the fasteners being configured to increase holding resistance to the lateral load.
