The Strong-Tie ABU88Z 8x8 post base is perfect for your next deck, patio or pergola build/remodel. Designed for securing your nominal 8x8 posts to a concrete slab or footing, the ABU series provides the best uplift performance of all the AB series post bases (ABA,ABU,ABW).
Features:

• A slotted hole for the concrete anchor allows for adjustment so you can achieve a perfect post alignment.
• The ABU88Z provides a 1” standoff to get your 8x8 post 1” off the ground. Not only will your project be code compliant, but it will keep your post end from sitting in standing water to prevent unwanted rotting and damage.
• The G185 ZMAX ® galvanized finish provides a level of corrosion resistance that is acceptable for use with treated lumber and normal outdoor use. If you’re installing in a high corrosive environment, i.e. near saltwater or where exposure to chemicals may occur, it’s recommended that you use a stainless steel base like the ABU88SS 8x8 Stainless Post base.

• Place the base, load transfer plate and nut on the anchor bolt. Loosely tighten the nut.

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
