The Simpson Strong-Tie CB44W Column Base is a rugged, cast-in-place connector built to anchor 4×4 wood posts securely to concrete. Made from heavy-gauge steel, it offers strong, stable support for posts in structural framing. Whether youre 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. Its finished with a corrosion-resistant coating, making it a smart choice for outdoor builds exposed to the elements.

Features:

• Designed for nominal 4×4 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 4×4 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.
