The Simpson 6 x 10 Column Base G90 Galvanized is a heavy-duty post base engineered by Simpson to create a reliable connection between 6 x 10 columns and concrete foundations. Built for applications that demand high structural performance, this column base accommodates a wide range of lumber, glulam, and engineered wood products, making it a dependable choice for residential and commercial construction projects where load transfer and long-term durability are critical.

Key Features

• Cast-in-place or wet-set installation - gives contractors flexibility on the job site, with the base plate positioned flush with the concrete surface to ensure full post bearing and maximum load transfer.
• Compatible with lumber, glulam, and engineered wood products - supports a broad range of column materials in a 6 x 10 size, reducing the need for special hardware across varied project types.
• Increased uplift resistance - engineered to handle wind and seismic loading demands, making this post base a reliable option for structurally challenging environments and code-sensitive applications.
• Bolt hole locations engineered to meet code-required spacing - helps ensure optimal load capacity and structural integrity without requiring field modifications.
• G90 Galvanized finish - provides a protective coating that helps resist corrosion, supporting long-term performance in exposed or demanding installation conditions.

Why This Product

• Trusted Simpson engineering - this column base is designed and produced by Simpson, a brand recognized for structurally engineered connectors, giving builders confidence in performance and code compliance.
• Versatile material compatibility - the ability to work with lumber, glulam, and engineered wood products in a single connector means this base suits a wide variety of structural column applications without requiring product substitutions.
• Built for high-demand load conditions - the increased uplift resistance makes this post base particularly well-suited for buildings in wind-prone or seismic regions where connector performance directly impacts structural safety.
• Simplified installation with a flush base plate design - the cast-in-place or wet-set method positions the base plate flush with the concrete surface, reducing guesswork on site and helping achieve full post bearing with a clean, finished result.
