STRUCTURAL TIMBER CONNECTORS / CONCEALED POST BASES

Simpson Strong-Tie CPT44Z Concealed Post Base (89mm x 89mm)

The Simpson Strong-Tie CPT44Z is a premium, high-capacity structural connector designed to deliver a completely concealed, clean architectural finish for timber columns. Engineered for post sizes from 89x89mm up to 100x100mm, it utilizes an internal steel flitch plate tucked into a pre-cut 5mm slot within the base of the timber. Providing a critical 25mm stand-off isolation height above the ground foundation substrate, it effectively breaks capillary moisture tracking paths to eliminate fungal decay risks. The visible standoff base plate features a textured, flat black powder coat finish for high-end aesthetic value, making it perfect for visible structural framing in Service Class 3 outdoor applications.

CRITICAL STRUCTURAL SPECIFICATION: LATERAL RESTRAINT MANDATE

Like all standard stand-off structural supports, the CPT44Z operates strictly as a pinned structural connection. It is engineered exclusively to resist vertical axial loads, tension uplift, and multi-directional horizontal shear forces—it is not designed to withstand bending moments or rotational momentum. To maintain structural integrity, the top of the timber post must be rigidly secured via an approved lateral restraint configuration (such as floor diaphragms, cross-bracing, or braced beam structures).

How We Keep Your Builds Moving

We partner with leading heavy industrial parcel and parcel-freight carriers across the country to maintain real-time tracking from our central warehouse shelves straight to your signature pad.

01.
Instant Hub Sorting: Approved orders pass straight to active pick queues via our localised automated barcode stock framework.
02.
Heavy Component Packing: Structural products are safely stored in industrial reinforced crates or strapped securely to custom pallets to fully safeguard fine threads and anti-corrosion zinc surfaces.
03.
Tailgate On-Site Offloading: Bulk shipments drop cleanly at your structural site boundary line via integrated tail-lift carrier transport systems.

Logistics Scope & Out-Of-Zone Shipments

Standard pricing arrays map explicitly to structural mainland UK postal grids. Supplementary transit routing variables, variable lead times, or specialised carrier adjustments apply across high-altitude or outlying maritime zones:

  • Scottish Highlands & Islands: Postcode structures matching KW, IV, PA, and PH configurations map to premium alternative transit grids. Please review checkout calculations for accurate real-time weights.
  • Northern Ireland, Isle of Man & Outer Channels: Specialised water-crossing logistical paths require clean custom manifesting lines.
  • Heavy Oversized Pallets: Extended multi-ply girder connectors, structural space straps, or high-volume masonry hangers exceeding standard bulk dimensions pass through dedicated heavy haulage grids.
*** NEED SPECIFIC AM DELIVERY TIMES OR SITE COORDINATION ARRANGEMENTS *** If your project features demanding time windows, unique site restrictions, or crane offload coordination, contact our central logistics team directly on 01707 375172 or email your schedule over to finalise arrangements.
