Are these post base compatible with green treat posts?
Asked by Linda March 25, 2021The ABU66Z has the Z-MAX finish which provides a medium level of corrosion protection and can be used with treated wood in many applications. Please see the Corrosion information at the following link to determine the recommend finish based on the treated wood being used and the environment where it is being installed: https://www.strongtie.com/solutions/corrosion.

Asked by Bill December 13, 2020Have you installed ABU66Z with a square washer that was supplied with the base and round washer that was supplied with Grip-Rite anchor bolt? If so, that may be the problem. Do not use the round washer - just the square thick washer and nut. Regards.

Asked by Vic September 7, 2020Is the post supported at the top? If so, the post base is probably adequate. If the post is free standing, definitely not.
How do you anchor this brace in concrete
Asked by Jeff May 3, 2020The ABU66Z anchors to the concrete with a 5/8" diameter anchor; it is up to the Designer/Engineer of Record to specify the anchor bolt type, length and embedment. There isn't enough information provided, but please feel free to call our Engineering Support Department (800-999-5099) with further details and while we cannot specify, they can direct you to anchorage options. Thank you!
I am going to use this one to support a 6x6 post. The post height is about 1.5 ft. I am going to ...
Asked by Gary April 30, 2020Yes, these are designed for use w/ 1/2" anchor bolts. Be very precise on how much bolt protrudes so you don't have to trim them - thickness of bracket, washer, lock washer, nut & a thread or two. Built a cabin resting on 6x6's notched to hold double 2x6 carrying beams. Rock solid!

Asked by PlywoodQuestion December 22, 2019I didn't use nails, I used 1/2 inch bolts, 13 thread and nuts. I drilled through those two holes in the Simpson Strong-Tie (1/2 inch) and secured it with two bolts.
The description says 12 gauge and the specifications say 10 gauge. Which is it?
Asked by Leo April 22, 2019Actually both...the base portion of the ABU66Z is 12 gauge and the strap portion is 10 gauge. Thank you!
Can post base be installed on existing concrete slab? How can I installed it?
Asked by FN November 10, 2018Yes would be my answer... I drilled a hole with a hammer drill, put in some cement specific epoxy in the hole, dropped a stainless steel bolt in, and allowed to cure. Waited for the following weekend to put up a huge pergola, and it’s been solid ever since... I hope that helps
