Simpson Strong-Tie PBS44AZ PBS ZMAX® Galvanized Standoff Post Base for 4x4

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.

This Simpson product is designed for construction, connector, fastening, anchoring, and structural applications where dependable performance, durability, and jobsite-ready installation matter.
