Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie PBS46HDG PBS Hot-Dip Galvanized Standoff Post Base for 4x6 is engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to provide a secure, code-compliant connection between a 4x6 wood post or column and a concrete foundation. Designed for use in decks, patio covers, and other top-supported structures, this post base features a 1-in. standoff that elevates the wood post above the concrete surface to help prevent rot caused by standing water contact. The hot-dip galvanized finish delivers superior corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for exterior and treated-wood applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does the PBS46HDG have a 1-in. standoff between the post and the concrete?
- The 1-in. standoff is designed to elevate the wood post above the concrete surface to avoid contact with standing water. This helps prevent rot at the post end and meets applicable code requirements for post base installations.
- How is the PBS46HDG installed?
- The post base is embedded into wet concrete before it has cured and is designed to install flush with the concrete surface. Ensure complete consolidation of the concrete up to the bottom of the 1-in. standoff base plate. A 2-in. minimum side cover is required to obtain the full load capacity.
- What fasteners are required to secure a post to the PBS46HDG?
- The PBS46HDG supports optional fastening with either (14) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails or (2) 1/2 in. diameter bolts, giving installers flexibility depending on the application and jobsite conditions.
- Is the PBS46HDG suitable for use with pressure-treated wood or in exterior environments?
- Yes. The hot-dip galvanized (HDG) coating provides extra corrosion resistance, making this post base well suited for exterior applications and use with treated wood where standard coatings may not provide adequate protection.
Note: Product dimensions and/or screw or bolt holes may differ from picture. Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations such as fences or unbraced carports.
