Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the standoff range this post base provides?
- When properly installed, the EPB66HDG provides the code-required 1 in. standoff above the concrete surface and allows up to 2-1/2 in. of standoff if a greater clearance is desired for your application.
- How is this post base installed?
- The EPB66HDG is a cast-in-place base, meaning it is set into wet concrete during the pour. It should be installed with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails to secure the post to the base plate.
- Is this post base suitable for fences or unbraced carports?
- No. The EPB66HDG is not recommended for non top-supported installations such as fences or unbraced carports. It is designed for applications where the top of the post is supported, such as decks and patio covers.
- Why is hot-dip galvanization important for this post base?
- Hot-dip galvanization (HDG) provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance, making the EPB66HDG well suited for exterior environments and applications involving treated wood, where standard coatings may not hold up over time.
