Retrofit Post Base

The Retrofit post base is designed to reinforce existing posts and columns. The single, versatile model will fit on any size post consisting of a double 2x4 or larger. It can also be used to reinforce new post-base connections, such as braced carports, patio covers, decks and other structures. The post case can be installed with the CPS composite plastic standoff to meet a 1" post standoff code requirement. A single post case can be installed on a post that is flush to a corner, and two Retrofits can be installed at away-from-edge conditions to fortify the post-base connection to resist both wind and seismic forces.

Connector screws install easily and provide excellent holding strength for post-to-flange connections. Additionally, the Retrofit can be purposed as a temporary base fixture for posts when shoring beams. Retrofit comes standard in a coated finish to meet exposure conditions in many environments.
