This retrofit post base is designed to reinforce existing posts and columns. This single, versatile model will fit on any size post consisting of a double 2 x 4 or larger. This post base can also be used to reinforce new post-base connections, such as braced carports, patio covers, decks and other structures. Can be installed with the CPS composite plastic standoff to meet a 1" post standoff code requirement. A single post base can be installed on a post that is flush to a corner, and (2) post bases (each sold separately) can be installed at away-from-edge conditions to fortify the post-base connection to resist both wind and seismic forces.
