Product Description
The Simpson CBSQ86-SDS2 Standoff Column Base is engineered to create a secure, code-compliant connection between a nominal 6x8 post or column and a concrete foundation, making it a reliable choice for decks, patio covers, and other top-supported structures. Built by Simpson and finished with a G90 zinc galvanized coating for corrosion resistance, this standoff base ships with the fasteners already included and the base plate pre-assembled, so you can move straight from delivery to installation.
Key Features
- Includes Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - fasteners ship with the base so you have everything needed for fast installation, reduced reveal, and high load capacity without a separate hardware run.
- 1 in. standoff between post and concrete - keeps wood separated from the concrete surface to meet code requirements and reduce the potential for decay at post and column ends, extending the life of your structure.
- Embeds in wet concrete at time of pour - lets you set the base during the concrete pour for a monolithic, high-strength footing connection without drilling into hardened concrete afterward.
- Base plate ships pre-assembled - saves setup time on the job site so you can focus on positioning and securing the post rather than assembling hardware.
- 12-gauge base with 7-gauge strap construction - heavier steel where the load demands it, providing structural integrity suited for demanding outdoor post-to-foundation applications.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance for exposed outdoor environments such as deck framing and patio cover construction.
Why This Product
- Ready to install out of the box - the base plate arrives pre-assembled and the required Strong-Drive SDS screws are included, eliminating guesswork about compatible fasteners and reducing trips to the supply house.
- Built-in decay protection - the 1 in. standoff keeps the post end clear of the concrete surface, directly reducing moisture-related decay at one of the most vulnerable points of any deck or patio cover structure.
- Wet-pour installation flexibility - the ability to embed directly in wet concrete gives builders the option to set column bases at the time of the footing pour, streamlining the construction sequence for new builds.
- Corrosion-resistant galvanized steel for outdoor confidence - the G90 zinc galvanized coating pairs with heavier strap gauge steel to deliver lasting performance in the exposed, moisture-prone conditions typical of deck and patio cover post connections.
