Simpson Strong-Tie APB1010 Adjustable Post Base

Simpson Strong-Tie APB1010 Adjustable Post Base

The APB1010 Adjustable Post Base from the Outdoor Accents collection is designed to securely anchor posts or columns to concrete, making it an excellent choice for outdoor projects like pergolas, patio covers, and other top-supported structures. Part of the Outdoor Accents Mission Collection, this post base features decorative edges with a southwestern flair, bringing both elegance and strength to your outdoor living spaces. Constructed from ZMAX galvanized steel with a black powder-coat finish, the APB1010 ensures long-lasting corrosion resistance. This adjustable post base installs with the Outdoor Accents structural wood screw and patented hex-head washer (sold separately) — the only approved fastener solution for Outdoor Accents connectors. The screw-and-washer combination offers the convenience of easy installation while providing the look of a bolted connection. It also includes a 1″ standoff from the concrete, which helps prevent post-end rot caused by moisture.
