Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does this post base have a 1" standoff?
- The 1" standoff elevates 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 standoff post bases.
- How is the PBS66HDG installed?
- The post base is embedded into wet concrete before it has cured, ensuring complete consolidation up to the bottom of the 1" standoff base plate. It is designed to install flush with the concrete surface. A 2" minimum side cover is required to obtain the full load capacity.
- What fasteners are required for this post base?
- Installation requires either (14) 0.162" x 3-1/2" nails or (2) 1/2" bolts. The design allows for optional fastening with either nails or bolts depending on your project requirements.
- Can the PBS66HDG be used for fences or unbraced carports?
- No. 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. This product is intended for top-supported structures only.
