Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CBSQ66-SDS2HDG is a hot-dip galvanized 6x6 column base engineered to serve as the critical interface between structural columns and their concrete foundations. Designed to transmit a structure's stresses reliably to the footing below, this column base features a 1" standoff that meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or in locations exposed to weather or water splash. Supplied with Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, the CBSQ66-SDS2HDG delivers fast, dependable installation while preserving a greater net section area of the column compared to traditional bolt connections - making it an ideal choice for treated lumber applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the CBSQ66-SDS2HDG suitable for use with treated lumber?
- Yes, this column base is rated for use with treated lumber. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance that makes it compatible with the chemicals present in treated wood, as well as outdoor and weather-exposed environments.
- Why does this column base have a 1" standoff?
- The 1" standoff is a code-required feature for structural posts installed in basements or in locations exposed to weather or water splash. It keeps the base of the column elevated above the concrete footing, helping to prevent direct moisture contact at the column's end grain.
- What fasteners are included, and why are they preferred over bolts?
- The CBSQ66-SDS2HDG is supplied with Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws. These screws allow for faster installation compared to traditional bolts and preserve a greater net section area of the column, which helps maintain the structural integrity of the wood. They also reduce the exposed hardware profile at the column base, resulting in a cleaner appearance.
- What size column is this base designed for?
- This column base is designed for 6x6 structural columns, serving as the interface between a 6x6 post and its concrete foundation footing.
