Product Description
The Simpson APVB66 Outdoor Accents Avant Collection Post Base by Simpson Strong-Tie is a black powder-coated post base engineered for 6x6 nominal posts used in outdoor structures such as pergolas, patio covers, and other top-supported applications. Built from 12-gauge steel with ZMAX galvanization and a black powder-coat finish, this post base delivers superior corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood use while providing a clean, simple aesthetic that suits a wide range of architectural styles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What fasteners are required to install the APVB66 post base?
- Install with (4) STN22 Outdoor Accents hex-head washers and (4) SDWS22312DBB Outdoor Accents structural wood screws. A 5/8-inch concrete anchor is also required. Note that these fasteners and anchors are not included with the post base.
- How does the APVB66 help protect against post-end rot?
- The APVB66 features a 1-inch standoff that elevates the post end above the concrete surface. This gap helps prevent moisture from accumulating at the base of the post, reducing the risk of rot over time.
- Is the APVB66 suitable for use with pressure-treated lumber?
- Yes. The ZMAX galvanization combined with the black powder-coat finish provides extra corrosion resistance specifically suited for exterior and treated-wood applications, making it compatible with pressure-treated lumber commonly used in outdoor structures.
- Can decorative side plates be added to the APVB66 for a more finished appearance?
- Yes. Outdoor Accents side plates are available separately and are compatible with this post base. See for the matching side plate option.
