The Simpson Strong-Tie CB44W Column Base is a rugged, cast-in-place connector built to anchor 4x4 wood posts securely to concrete. Made from heavy-gauge steel, it offers strong, stable support for posts in structural framing. Whether you’re working on a residential deck, pergola, or porch, the CB44W gives you a code-compliant, long-lasting foundation.

This base features a welded 90° flange that wraps around the post for added lateral strength. It’s finished with a corrosion-resistant coating, making it a smart choice for outdoor builds exposed to the elements.

Features:

• Designed for nominal 4x4 posts (actual size: 3-1/2" x 3-1/2")
• Heavy-duty welded steel construction for superior load capacity
• Flanged sides provide added strength and stability
• Cast-in-place design anchors directly into wet concrete
• Galvanized for corrosion resistance and long-term durability

Applications:

• Deck and porch framing
• Covered patios and pergolas
• Post-supported entryways
• Outdoor stair landings
• Any structural wood post installation needing direct-to-concrete anchoring

Installation:

1. Position the CB44W in formwork before pouring concrete.
2. Set rebar through the base holes as required to reinforce the connection.
3. Once concrete cures, install the 4x4 post using structural fasteners through the side flanges.
4. Always follow local building codes and Simpson Strong-Tie installation instructions for proper embedment and anchoring.
