Simpson ABW44RZ Adjustable Post Base With Stand Off 100mm x 100mm

The Simpson Strong-Tie ABW Adjustable Post Base with Stand Off is a versatile and cost-effective solution for anchoring timber posts to concrete surfaces. Designed to elevate the post 25mm above the concrete, it helps prevent moisture-induced decay, extending the lifespan of the timber.

Key Features:

• Adjustable Installation: The slotted base allows for flexible positioning around the anchor bolt, accommodating various post placements.

• Retrofit Capability: Suitable for both new constructions and retrofitting existing structures, it can be installed onto a threaded bar in poured concrete or with a resin or mechanical anchor into solid concrete (anchors sold separately).

• Durable Material: Constructed from pre-galvanised mild steel, offering corrosion resistance for outdoor applications.

• Enhanced Post Protection: The 25mm stand-off design reduces the risk of moisture-related decay at the base of the timber post.

Ideal for applications such as pergolas, carports, and other timber structures, the ABW Adjustable Post Base provides a reliable and durable connection between timber posts and concrete foundations.
