This versatile post base makes a cost-effective option for securing a post to the foundation.

Installation

• Use all specified fasteners
• 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).
• Place the base cut washer(s) and nut(s) on the anchor bolt(s). Make any necessary adjustments to post placement and tighten the nut securely on the anchor bolt.
• Place the post in the ABA and fasten using nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws.
