Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CB812 Column Base is an engineered connector designed to securely attach posts to concrete foundations, accommodating a wide range of lumber, glulam, and engineered wood product sizes. Built for 8 x 12 column applications, this heavy-duty base is either cast-in-place or wet-set into concrete, positioning the bottom of the base plate flush with the concrete surface to ensure full post bearing. Finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, the CB812 delivers the rugged structural performance required for demanding column installations subject to high loads, wind uplift, or seismic forces.
