The CB is ideal for columns that require high structural values and rugged performance.

Questions & Answers
Can the part above ground be painted?
While we do not have any restrictions against painting our products, we do not have any information/guidelines to provide regarding painting galvanized steel as this is not our area of expertise. You may wish to check further with a paint manufacturer or the American Galvanizers Association (www.galvanizeit.org) for information on painting galvanized steel. Thank you!
Latex house paint. Takes 2 coats, Wipe it down thoroughly with vinegar before painting, helps bond the paint. Be warned it will fade, maybe due to heat from sunlight, scratches easily, comes off somewhat easily.
Can this Column Base be used as anchor for post on a 14' pole barn? (6in x 6in Hot-Dip Galvanized)
Yes, this can be used.
I would think so, keeping in mind they hold a 6x6 post, just be sure your building plan has enough posts so that you end up with a building sturdy enough to handle what you want it to do plus the worst things mother nature will throw at it. I was impressed with the anchors, they are solidly made for sure. I like the peace of mind that I don't have to worry about my posts rotting since they eliminate the need to partially sink them in the ground.
What is the difference between CB 4 in. x 6 in. Galvanized Column Base and the Hot-Dip Galvanized Column Base? Both are 7 gauge steel and both are Galvanized. The hot dipped cost twice as much. I need it to support a gate fence post, and not sure if the extra cost is justified.
The steel used to manufacture the CB46 is hot-dipped prior to fabrication. This standard (G90) zinc-galvanized coating contains 0.90 oz. of zinc per square foot of surface area (total both sides) and provides a low level of corrosion protection. The CB46HDG is hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. The minimum average coating weight on the "HDG" products is 2.0 oz./ft2 (per ASTM A123 total both sides) and provides a medium level of corrosion protection. Please visit our website for information on our coatings, to determine what finish is recommended for your condition, and for complete corrosion information. Thank you!
What machine bolts do I need for this Simpson 8 x 8 column base and where can I get them?
This item uses 3/4 in. Diameter bolts.
How do I accomplish a 1" standoff with this base?
This base does not provide a 1" standoff. For a 1" standoff, please see the CBS66 (bolted version) or CBSQ66 (screw version); both available with the HDG finish (add HDG to model number). Thank you!
