Product Overview
The Simpson Strong‑Tie CBSQ66‑SDS2 Column Base provides superior strength, corrosion resistance, and efficient installation for structural post‑to‑concrete connections. Designed to embed directly in wet concrete during pour, this heavy‑duty galvanized base securely anchors 6x6 wood columns while reducing the risk of moisture‑related decay.
Featuring high‑capacity Strong‑Drive® SDS screws, this base ensures faster, more reliable installation with a reduced post reveal for a cleaner appearance. A 1‑inch standoff provides code‑compliant separation between the wood post and concrete surface to prevent moisture wicking and extend post life.
Each CBSQ66‑SDS2 is factory‑assembled with the base plate, saving time on setup while guaranteeing consistent alignment and performance. Ideal for decks, pergolas, posts, and post‑frame construction where long‑term structural integrity is essential.
