Frequently Asked Questions
- What post size is the APVB88R designed to fit?
- The APVB88R is designed for a nominal 8x8 rough post size, making it suitable for substantial structural columns used in pergolas, patio covers, and similar top-supported outdoor structures.
- Why does this post base include a 1 in. standoff?
- The 1 in. standoff elevates the post end above the concrete surface, helping to prevent moisture accumulation at the base of the post that could otherwise lead to rot over time.
