These post bases secure a post or
column to concrete and are perfect
for outdoor projects such as pergolas,
patio covers and other top-supported
structures. Want a more finished look to
that installed post base? Try the APBDSP

APLH Concealed-
Flange Light Joist
Hanger
APLH light hangers connect 2x joists
to beams — perfect for that stylish
patio cover you’ve been thinking about.
Available in a range of sizes, the hangers
install easily with the Outdoor Accents
®
connector screw.
APL L Straps and
APT T Straps
These straps deliver decorative appeal
and lateral strength to any connection
where one lumber piece intersects
another at a 90° angle. Available in
sizes to accommodate 4x and 6x
lumber, both straps are easily installed
with Outdoor Accents structural
screws and hex-head washers.
