Adjustable Porch Post Base 6X6
$119.11
The Simpson Strong-Tie adjustable porch post base is designed to enhance jobsite safety while streamlining installation processes. With the ability to adjust between a minimum height of 4 inches and a maximum of 12 inches, builders can effectively attach the post framing and base to the foundation prior to pouring the porch slab. This innovative feature not only eliminates the need for temporary supports, saving both time and money, but also facilitates smoother subcontractor scheduling. Constructed with durable materials including a 12-gauge seat and a robust 3-gauge base plate, this post base ensures reliable support for 6×6 nominal posts, making it an essential component for any porch construction project.
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.
