Simpson Strong-Tie APVB44 - Outdoor Accents Avant Collection ZMAX, Black Post Base for 4x4

Outdoor Accents® adjustable post-bases secure the post or column to concrete and are ideal for outdoor projects, such as pergolas, patio covers and other top-supported structures. These post-bases are part of our Outdoor Accents® Avant Collection™ and feature a clean, timeless design that complements nearly every architectural style. ZMAX® galvanized steel with a black powder-coat finish provides corrosion resistance. The APVB post-bases install with the Outdoor Accents® structural wood screw and patented hex head washer (sold separately) the only approved fastener solution for Outdoor Accents® connectors. This screw and washer combination provides a decorative bolt-like connection, but with the installation ease of a screw. APVB models include a 1 in stand-off from the concrete to help avoid post-end rot from moisture.

• Designed to meet stringent building codes for seismic or high-wind events
• Slotted for adjustability
• Features 1 in stand-off to help prevent rot at post-end
• Fastener holes are slightly offset to help prevent fastener interference
• ZMAX® galvanization with black powder-coat offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
