Product Description
The Simpson PB44HDG Post Base is a hot-dip galvanized structural connector engineered to provide a secure, reliable connection between a post or column and a supporting surface for decks, patio covers, and other top-supported structures. Built to a 12-gauge steel standard and finished with hot-dip galvanization for enhanced corrosion resistance, this post base is well-suited for outdoor and treated-wood applications where moisture exposure is a concern.
Key Features
