California Residents: WARNING

-The slot in the base enables flexible positioning around the anchor bolt, making precise post placement easier
-The 1" standoff helps prevent rot at the end of the post and meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or exposed to weather or water splash

-Use all specified fasteners.
-Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).
-Place the base, load transfer plate and nut on the anchor bolt. Loosely tighten the nut.
