Customer Reviews for Simpson Strong-Tie CB Hot-Dip Galvanized Column Base for 4x4 Nominal Lumber

These post bases are made from very heavy gauge steel and hot-dip galvanized. Once anchored in concrete they provide an exceptionally stable base for 6x6 pressure-treated posts (note: so-called 6x6 lumber has a true measurement of 5.5" x 5.5" +/-). These brackets are really massive, over 7 lbs each. They are much sturdier than the typical 12-gauge steel brackets They are anchored about 10" deep into the concrete, then attached to the upright post using two 5/8" x 8" HDG bolts. Once properly anchored, that post is not going anywhere! I would definitely recommend this product to a friend.

Excellent product. Very steady, great quality.

Great bracket but much more expensive than 3 years ago.

Ordered this and it was shipped to local store just in time for my pour of concrete. It looks good but was expensive.

The galvanized post base worked to perfection.

These post anchors exceeded my expectations. Heavy duty 7 gage steel will last longer than my lifetime. When installed properly , they should exceed any hurricane specifications. I can’t wait for my site to dry out from seasonal rain so I can install these brackets

Perfect. These things are solid

Very good product for outside highly recommend.

Best product for securing wooden post into concrete

Worked fine. Does not come with bolts so make sure to get some.

Very expensive but in line with other stores.

There are two types, galvanized and non galvanized. Make sure you buy the galvanized

This CB appears to be good very solid construction. Home Depot or Simpson needs to explain which connectors should be used with these bases and sell the connectors with the base.
