The HBC is a post-installed saddle that offers installation flexibility and strength for connecting to 4x or 6x dressed wood posts. This post base is ideal for light connections such as patio covers, deck trellises and pergolas. With a hot-dip galvanized finish, the HBC provides additional corrosion protection for outdoor projects.

Installation

• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes

• 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)
