Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CB5-6 Column Base is engineered to securely connect posts to concrete foundations, accommodating a wide range of lumber, glulam, and engineered wood product sizes. Designed specifically for a Glulam 5-1/8 in. x 6 in. nominal column, this column base is either cast-in-place or wet set into concrete so the bottom of the base plate sits flush with the concrete surface, providing full post bearing for maximum load transfer. Built from heavy-duty 7-gauge steel with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish, the CB5-6 delivers high structural values and rugged, long-lasting performance in demanding structural applications.
