Is there some type of 2x4 brace or bracket that will hold down a “standing” 2x4 on a wood floor?

Here’s a very rudimentary drawing, and the brace Im looking for is in red in the corner.

I know I can use L-brackets or pocket screws, but Im looking for something that will push it down.

  • Do you have access to the floor from underneath?

    Pocket screws will push it down very nicely. They seem perfect if you need some extra downwards force for some reason. Normally, gravity would hold it down and L brackets would hold it up. Can you explain a little more why none of those things would work for you? You could make vertical "pockets" by drilling through the top with deep recesses for small-headed screws.

If there is a header, this connector from the Simpson Strong-Tie could be what you need.
