Frequently Asked Questions
- What post size is the APVB66R designed for?
- The APVB66R is designed for a nominal 6x6 rough post or column, making it well-suited for larger pergola and patio cover structures that require a sturdy anchor point at the base.
- Why does this post base include a 1 in. standoff?
- The 1 in. standoff raises the post end off the concrete surface to allow airflow and reduce prolonged moisture contact, which helps prevent rot at the bottom of the post over time.
- Is the APVB66R rated for use in high-wind or seismic regions?
- Yes. The APVB66R is designed to meet stringent building codes for both seismic and high-wind events, making it appropriate for use in demanding structural applications where code compliance is required.
- What fasteners are required to install the APVB66R?
- Installation requires (4) STN22 Outdoor Accents hex-head washers and (4) SDWS22312DBB Outdoor Accents structural wood screws. A concrete anchor is also needed to secure the base to the concrete. These fasteners are not included with the post base and must be obtained separately.
