Simpson Strong-Tie APVB Adjustable Post Base
Outdoor Accents® adjustable 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 are part of our Outdoor Accents Avant Collection™ and feature a clean, timeless design that complements nearly every architectural style. ZMAX® galvanized steel with a black powder-coat finish provides corrosion resistance.
Installs with the Outdoor Accents structural wood screw and patented hex-head washer combo or the patent-pending Outdoor Accents button-head connector screw. APVB models include a 1" standoff from the concrete to help avoid post-end rot from moisture.
- Designed to meet stringent building codes for seismic or high-wind events
- Slotted for adjustability
- Features 1" standoff to help prevent rot at post end
- Outdoor Accents side plates available (see APVBDSP)
- Fastener holes are slightly offset to help prevent fastener interference
