Most metal connector companies do not manufacture an adequate connector which will connect a double beam to the top of a 6x6 post in a 1.85 oz/sf zinc coating. The notched 6x6 bolted to the double beam, as shown in the typical details, provides the most effective and least expensive connection.  more
