About This Product

Post and column bases secure the bottom of posts or columns to concrete and are perfect for decks or patio covers. Models are available for attaching to existing hardened concrete, wet concrete, as well as wood. The AB series also offers adjustability around the anchor bolt to achieve optimum post placement. Many models provide a 1-in standoff from the concrete to help avoid post-end rot from moisture.

  • Features 1 in. standoff to help prevent rot at post end
  • Slotted for adjustability
  • Designed for versatility, cost-effectiveness and maximum uplift performance
  • Nominal post size: 4 x 4
  • Steel gauge: base 16, strap 12
  • Stainless steel for high/severe corrosion resistance
  • Install with stainless-steel 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails or 1/2 in. diameter stainless-steel machine bolts

Answer This Question

A:  Hi Mrbigred, thank you for your message. This is Ricardo from Simpson Strong-Tie. You could still use the ABU but would need to level it on the underside with some type of grout. Please note that we have no testing or load values for a condition with a grade this severe. If you need more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.​​

      Q:Can this post base be used to attach post to wood decking?

      Answer This Question

      A:  The ABU is designed/tested for wood-to-concrete applications. It is up to the Designer/Engineer of Record to specify the appropriate connector based on framing layout, demand loads, local building code, etc., but the BC40 may be an option. Thank you!
