Simpson 8" x 8" Column Base Standoff

The CBSQ is designed to be the interface between columns and their foundations. The main function of this column base is to link the column to the concrete footing surface and thereby transmit the structure’s stresses to the foundation. The CBSQ uses Strong-Drive^® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which allow for fast installation and reduced reveal, and provide a greater net section area of the column than bolts.

Key Features

• 1" standoff (included) of the CBSQ meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or exposed to weather or water splash
• Included fasteners provide faster installation than bolts
• SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws that provide a greater wood net section area than bolts
