A:  ​Hi kkrc, this is McKenzie from Simpson Strong-Tie. The RPBZ are designed for exterior application and we have data to support them being installed on concrete. One thing to note that has your specific application outside of our specific installation details is that we do state that 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 car ports. With that being said we would not be able to say how well the RPBZ would work for your application. If you need more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.​​

A:  If you attach them to the pole make a hole poor the concrete around the pole making sure it’s level let it set up that would work fine ?

A:  Hello Noel, this is Stacy with Simpson Strong-Tie. We specify to use 3/8" diameter anchor bolts for the RPBZ. However, the designer or engineer is responsible to specify a length. If you wish to discuss this further please call us at (800) 999-5099. We look forward to speaking with you.
