Description

Simpson Strong-Tie PB Post Base

The 12-gauge PB post base provides a connection between a post (or column) for decks, patio covers and other top-supported structures. Available with standard galvanization, which offers extra corrosion resistance for outdoor or treated-wood applications.

Material: 12 gauge
Finish: Galvanized. See Corrosion Information.

Installation:

Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).
Holes are provided for installation with either 16d commons or 1/2″ bolts for PB66; all other models use 16d commons only. A 2″ minimum sidecover is required to obtain the full load.
