$85.85
Engineered to enhance safety and efficiency on the job site, the PPBF™ Adjustable Porch Post Base is a crucial addition for any builder working with 4×4 posts. This innovative base allows for flexible height adjustments ranging from a minimum of 4 inches to a maximum of 12 inches, enabling builders to securely attach post framing and the base to the foundation before the porch slab is poured. Not only does this feature streamline the construction process by eliminating the need for temporary supports, it also contributes to better subcontractor scheduling, ultimately saving both time and money. Finished in a galvanized coating with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, this durable component is designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, ensuring your construction projects remain robust and secure.
Description
The PPBF™ adjustable porch post base safely supports porch framing through all phases of construction, eliminating the need for temporary vertical support and providing a stronger structure for contractors working on and around the porch roof. The seat adjusts to accommodate varying porch-slab thicknesses from 4 in. to 12 in., providing contractors with one-time installation of the post base and post at the beginning of construction. This adjustability gives contractors the option to set the post base at the correct height before the porch concrete slab is poured. The PPBF fastens to the footing with two Titen Turbo™ concrete screws when framing the porch roof. The height of the post base can be adjusted by threading the seat up or down onto the threaded rod. The PPBF is tested and load rated to support the weight of most framed porches and overhangs before the post base is embedded in concrete. The table also provides load values for the base after it has been embedded in concrete.
