Adjustable Standoff Post Base ABA, Simpson Strong-Tie, to Hang 4x6, 3-9/16 x 5-3/16 x 3-1/8 in H, 14 ga ZMAX Galvanized Steel

The ABA is designed to attach wooden posts to existing concrete. The built-in 1 in stand-off of this adjustable post-base helps to prevent rot at the end of the post. The ABA has a slotted anchor hole in the base for adjustability and attaches to the post with nails or Strong-Drive® SD Connector screws. This versatile post-base makes a cost-effective option for securing a post to the foundation. This post-base is available in model sizes for double 2X, 4 x 4, 4 x 6 and 6 x 6 lumber, both nominal and rough. The new double 2X size can be used for installing a structural post consisting of two 2 x 4 studs nailed together as well as for securing double 2X beams to a footing for ground-level decks.
