Product Description

The ABU Adjustable Post Base provides a high‑strength connection between the post and concrete. Designed to install on hardened concrete with either a cast‑in‑place or post‑installed anchor, the ABU is designed to provide strong uplift performance for areas where uplift from high winds is a concern.

It's stand-off base keeps the timber away from standing moisture which is especially important when using laminated posts.

Please check Corrosion Information if it is suitable for your application.

Material

Carbon Steel ZMAX® Galvanised: ABU44Z; ABU66Z
or
316 Stainless Steel: ABU44SS

Features & Benefits

The slotted base enables flexible positioning around the anchor bolt, making precise post placement easier
The 25mm standoff meets code requirements and helps prevent rot at the end of the post in applications where weather or moisture are present
ZMAX^® galvanisation offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and preservative‑treated timber applications
Available in 316 Stainless Steel for more corrosive environments such as coastal areas
The post can be fastened with either nail, bolts or Strong‑Drive^® SD Connector screws

Installation

Use all specified fasteners
Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non‑top supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports)
