Product Description
Simpson CBSTQ66-SDS2HDG CBSTQ Hot-Dip Galvanized Standoff Column Base for 6x6 with SDS Screws is a cast-in-place column base engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to deliver enhanced strength and stability for wood posts in residential and light commercial construction. Its code-required 1 in. standoff design elevates the post above concrete to reduce moisture-related rot, while its hot-dip galvanized finish provides superior corrosion resistance for demanding exterior and treated-wood applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does the CBSTQ66-SDS2HDG feature a 1 in. standoff?
- The code-required 1 in. standoff design elevates the wood post above the concrete surface, protecting it from direct moisture contact and significantly reducing the risk of post-end rot over time.
- What role do the S-shaped bearing tabs play in this column base?
- The S-shaped bearing tabs are engineered to provide increased strength to the connector, allowing for higher download capacities compared to previous column base models - making the CBSTQ a reliable upgrade for demanding structural connections.
- Why is hot-dip galvanization important for this column base?
- Hot-dip galvanization (HDG) provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance, making the CBSTQ66-SDS2HDG well suited for exterior environments and applications involving treated wood, where standard finishes may be more susceptible to chemical or moisture-driven corrosion.
- Why are Strong-Drive SDS screws used instead of bolts?
- Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws provide a greater wood net section area than traditional bolts, which helps preserve the structural integrity of the wood post at the connection point while delivering a secure and code-compliant installation.
