Product Description
The Simpson APB88DSP Outdoor Accents Mission Collection ZMAX Black Post Base Side Plate by Simpson is a decorative finishing plate designed to attach to the bottom of a post or column, giving any installed post base a clean, polished appearance. Part of the Mission Collection within the Outdoor Accents line, these plates bring a touch of Southwestern character to custom outdoor living structures such as pergolas, patio covers, and other top-supported builds - combining purposeful design with the corrosion resistance needed for demanding exterior environments and treated-wood applications.
Key Features
- Complements the Outdoor Accents APB decorative post base - pairs directly with the APB post base to deliver a cohesive, finished aesthetic at the base of each post or column (fasteners sold separately).
- Designed for nominal 8x and 8x rough lumber - ensures a precise, secure fit against full-dimension and rough-sawn timber without gaps or shimming.
- 7 in. width - sized to cover the post base perimeter cleanly, eliminating exposed hardware for a professional, decorator-quality result.
- Made from 12-gauge steel - provides the structural integrity and rigidity expected from load-bearing outdoor connectors, resisting warping or distortion over time.
- ZMAX galvanization with a black powder coat finish - delivers a dual layer of corrosion protection suited for exterior installations and direct contact with pressure-treated wood, while the matte black color ties seamlessly into the Mission Collection aesthetic.
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for the Mission Collection ecosystem - designed specifically to complement the Outdoor Accents APB post base, these side plates integrate with matching hardware so your pergola, patio cover, or outdoor structure maintains a unified, intentional look from top to bottom.
- Dual-layer corrosion protection for long-term exterior use - the combination of ZMAX galvanization and black powder coating makes these plates a dependable choice for outdoor structures exposed to moisture, weather, and the chemicals present in treated lumber.
- Decorator-quality finish without sacrificing material strength - 12-gauge steel construction means these plates hold up in real outdoor conditions, giving buyers both the visual appeal of finished architectural hardware and the durability of a structural-grade connector.
- Southwestern design detail that elevates standard builds - the Mission Collection styling adds a distinctive architectural character to pergolas and patio covers that plain post bases simply cannot achieve, helping custom outdoor structures look intentionally designed rather than purely utilitarian.
