Product Description
Simpson Strong-Tie® post bases connect the bottom of wood posts or columns to a concrete foundation. The PBS is designed to provide a secure connection between a post (or column) and concrete in projects including decks, patio covers and other top-supported structures. These post bases are elevated 1 in. to avoid contact of the wood post with standing water to help prevent rot at the post end.

Product Details
Key Features
- Provides a 1" standoff between post and concrete that meets code requirements
- Embeds in wet concrete before the concrete has cured and is designed to install flush with the concrete surface

Material
- See table
Finish
- Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX® or HDG coating. See Corrosion Information.
Installation
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
- Install either nails or bolts.
- 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).
- Embed into wet concrete, ensuring complete consolidation, up to the bottom of the 1" standoff base plate. A 2" minimum side cover is required to obtain the full load. Holes in the bottom of the straps allow for free concrete flow.
