Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CB48HDG 4 x 8 Column Base is a hot-dip galvanized structural connector engineered to securely connect posts to concrete foundations across a wide range of lumber, glulam, and engineered wood product sizes. Designed for cast-in-place or wet-set installation, the base plate sits flush with the concrete surface to provide full post bearing - delivering the high structural values and rugged performance demanded by both residential and commercial construction applications. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides exceptional corrosion resistance, making this column base well-suited for exposed and demanding environments.
