Simpson Strong Tie Simpson Strong-tie Cps6 Composite Standoff Base, 6 X 6 In.

The Simpson Strong-Tie CPS6 is a composite polymer standoff base designed for use with 6x6 wood posts and columns, both indoors and outdoors. This standoff base elevates the post bottom away from the concrete surface, creating a critical 1-inch air gap that protects against moisture absorption and rot. By keeping the post or column off direct concrete contact, the CPS6 helps extend the life of your structural members and meets code requirements for proper post installation.

The composite polymer construction resists corrosion, making it suitable for wet and outdoor environments. The black powder-coated finish provides a clean, consistent appearance. The base design increases concrete contact area, which means better resistance to shifting under load—an important factor in maintaining stability for decks, fences, and building foundations.
