Product Description
The Simpson APB44DSP Outdoor Accents Mission Collection ZMAX Black Post Base Side Plate by Simpson is a decorative finishing solution designed to complement the Outdoor Accents APB decorative post base and deliver a polished, cohesive look at the base of posts or columns in custom outdoor living structures. Part of the Mission Collection, these side plates bring a subtle Southwestern flair to pergolas, patio covers, and other top-supported builds - pairing genuine 12-gauge steel construction with a refined aesthetic that stands up to the demands of exterior environments and treated-wood applications.
Key Features
- Complements the Outdoor Accents APB decorative post base (fasteners sold separately) - integrates seamlessly into an APB post base installation for a complete, unified decorative finish rather than a patchwork look.
- Designed for nominal 4x and 4x rough lumber - ensures a precise, secure fit on standard dimensional posts commonly used in pergolas, patio covers, and similar outdoor structures.
- Made from 12-gauge steel - provides structural-grade durability and rigidity so the decorative plates hold their form and finish through years of outdoor use.
- ZMAX galvanization with a black powder coat finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance engineered specifically for exterior and treated-wood applications, protecting the plates against moisture and the chemicals present in pressure-treated lumber.
- Mission Collection aesthetic with a black powder coat color - adds a hint of Southwestern character and a clean, consistent look that elevates the visual appeal of pergolas, patio covers, and outdoor living structures.
Why This Product
- Finish meets function in one hardware piece - these side plates are not purely ornamental. Built from 12-gauge steel with ZMAX galvanization, they bring decorative appeal without sacrificing the corrosion resistance required for long-term performance in exterior and treated-wood environments.
- Purpose-built for the APB post base system - designed specifically to complement the Outdoor Accents APB decorative post base, the APB44DSP eliminates guesswork and ensures a coordinated, intentional look across the entire post base assembly on pergolas, patio covers, and similar structures.
- Engineered for treated-wood compatibility - the ZMAX galvanized coating with black powder coat is formulated to resist the corrosive effects of treated lumber and outdoor moisture, making these plates a dependable choice for projects where hardware longevity matters.
- Designed and made in the United States by a trusted structural hardware brand - Simpson has a long-standing reputation for producing connectors that meet the demands of professional builders and serious DIYers alike, and the Mission Collection brings that same standard to decorative outdoor applications.
