Description

Simpson Strong-Tie APB88- 8-inch x 8-inch Ornamental Adjustable Post Base

Outdoor Accents post bases secure the post or column to concrete and are perfect for outdoor projects such as pergolas, patio covers and other top-supported structures. These post bases feature decorative accents and provide ZMAX^® galvanization with black powder coat for extra corrosion resistance.

APB models include a 1″ standoff from the concrete to help avoid post-end rot caused by moisture. These bases accommodate lumber in both nominal and rough sizes. Optional decorative side plates are available to give the look of a four-sided post base.
