Product Description
The Simpson Avant Collection APVB1010R post base is a black powder-coated structural connector engineered to anchor a 10x10 rough post or column securely to concrete - making it a natural fit for pergolas, patio covers, and other top-supported outdoor structures. Built from ZMAX galvanized steel with an additional black powder-coat finish, this post base pairs genuine corrosion resistance with a clean, ornamental appearance that suits decorative exterior applications and treated-wood construction alike. A 1 in. standoff keeps the post end elevated above the concrete surface, while slotted holes and offset fastener positions give installers the flexibility and ease of assembly that demanding projects require.
Key Features
- Meets stringent seismic and high-wind building codes - provides the structural confidence needed for pergolas, patio covers, and covered outdoor structures in demanding climate zones
- Slotted holes for adjustability - lets you fine-tune post alignment during installation, reducing frustration and saving time on the job
- 1 in. standoff from concrete - elevates the post end above the surface to limit moisture contact and help prevent rot at the base of the post over time
- Offset fastener holes - reduces the risk of fastener interference when driving hardware, keeping the installation clean and structurally sound (fasteners sold separately)
- 14-gauge steel base and 12-gauge steel straps - heavier-gauge straps add strength at the connection point where load transfer is most critical
- ZMAX galvanization plus black powder-coat finish - dual-layer protection delivers extra corrosion resistance for exterior environments and direct contact with treated wood
- Decorative black powder-coated straps - the Avant Collection aesthetic blends structural performance with an ornamental look suited for visible outdoor applications
- Compatible with Outdoor Accents side plates - optional decorative side plates (APVBDSP) are available to complete the finished appearance of the installation
Why This Product
- Dual-layer corrosion protection built for the outdoors - ZMAX galvanization combined with a black powder-coat finish gives this post base a meaningful edge against moisture and corrosion, especially in exterior settings where the connector is exposed to the elements or in contact with treated lumber
- Code-compliant strength in a decorative package - the Avant Collection is engineered to meet stringent building codes for seismic and high-wind events, so you get a connector that satisfies structural requirements without sacrificing a polished, finished appearance
- Rot-prevention design saves long-term maintenance - the built-in 1 in. standoff addresses one of the most common failure points in outdoor post installations by keeping wood off wet concrete, helping protect your structure over the long term
- Installer-friendly details reduce on-site headaches - slotted holes for post alignment and offset fastener holes to prevent interference are practical engineering choices that make installation faster and cleaner on pergola, patio cover, and column base projects
