Quality Strong-Tie Lumbar

Would Recommend

We used the Simpson Strong-Tie ABA 6-in x 6-in ZMAX Wood to concrete (retrofit) Base for our deck project, and it worked great from start to finish. These were solid and easy to work with. These gave us confidence that it will hold up well against moisture and ground contact. Highly recommend these for any deck or outdoor build where you want strength and long-lasting durability!
