About This Product
Post and column bases secure the bottom of posts or columns to concrete and are perfect for decks or patio covers. Models are available for attaching to existing hardened concrete, wet concrete, as well as wood. The PB series provides a connection between a post (or column) for decks, patio covers and other top-supported structures.
Highlights
- Embeds in wet concrete after pour and is made to install flush with the concrete surface
- Embossment in the seat of the base gives increased strength
- Stress relief holes under the base resist tearing during loading
- Nominal post size: 4x6
- Made from 12-gauge steel
- Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).
- Install with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails (16DHDG)
- Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).

Questions & Answers
Im putting up a short fence and have one sitting around.
No, most post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports). The only post base we refer to for fence applications (max 4' high) is the FPBB44 (only available for 4x4 posts). Thank you!
What gauge of 16D nails should be used with this?
The PB46 is to be installed with 16d common nails (0.162" diameter x 3 1/2" long). Thank you!
Can this 4in. x 6in. post base be used with a 6in. x 6in. post since the actual 6in. x 6in. post base isn't available?
Based on dimensions alone the 6x6 would fit in the PB46, but there are some concerns and it would be up to the Designer/Engineer of Record to approve. Download of the PB bases is limited by the design capacity of the post and the PB46 would be limited to the capacity of a 4x6 post. Also, the post would be exposed on the bottom more than it would with a base appropriately sized so corrosion could be a concern and should be addressed. Thank you!
looking for a post base (new wood post) to be epoxied into the existing concrete footing. Thanks in advance for all your help. Ramiro Hernandez San Diego ca.
It would be up to the Designer/Engineer of Record to specify the appropriate connector based on framing layout, demand loads, local building codes, etc., but the ABA46Z or ABU46Z are both options for a 4x6 post. Thank you!
Can this be used for pressure treated wood?
Yes, you can use the brace with pressure treated wood.
