It anchors vertical posts to concrete or other structural substrates, transferring vertical and lateral loads while keeping the post end elevated to reduce moisture contact. Licensed contractors, deck builders, and structural framers install this component as part of code-compliant framing assemblies. The base is designed to meet strict building code requirements for load-bearing outdoor connections, making it appropriate for projects where engineered performance and code compliance are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe APB44 is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor construction where 4x4 posts are used. Typical applications include decks, pergolas, carports, fencing, and similar above-grade wood frame structures. The black steel finish blends with common outdoor hardware aesthetics. Installation uses dedicated structural screws and hex head washers, which are sold separately and not included with this base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for 4x4 nominal lumber posts in outdoor structural applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack steel construction for corrosion resistance and finished appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEngineered to meet building code requirements for load-bearing post connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstalls with structural screws and hex head washers sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElevates post end to limit direct moisture contact with concrete substrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a package quantity of 8 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style structural connector for 4x4 nominal lumber posts in code-compliant outdoor framing assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified contractor familiar with applicable building codes, including the IBC and IRC fastener and connector requirements. Confirm anchor bolt placement and concrete cure before securing the base. Use only the manufacturer-specified structural screws and hardware for this connector — substituting standard wood screws will not meet engineered load ratings. Inspect the mounting surface for level and plumb before fastening the post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4x4 nominal lumber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SIMPSON STRONG TIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: APB44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SIMPSON STRONG-TIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524928504114,"sku":"APB44","price":236.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7cecc5171a896fdd34e890c36bc705dd.jpg?v=1785461941","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/simpson-strong-tie-apb44-post-base-4x4-outdoor","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
