STRUCTURAL TIMBER CONNECTORS / ADJUSTABLE POST BASES

Simpson Strong-Tie APB100/150 Adjustable Elevated Post Base

The Simpson Strong-Tie APB100/150 is a highly versatile, precision-engineered adjustable structural timber post support designed for solid and glulam timber columns. Perfect for structures like garage ports and pergolas, it features an integrated adjustment screw that allows the installer to set a custom, precise stand-off clearance height ranging anywhere from 100mm to 150mm. Accommodating timber post dimensions from 100x100mm up to 200x200mm, this elevated configuration isolates the column timber base from ground moisture, mitigating fungal decay risks while complying with modern engineering preferences.

CRITICAL STRUCTURAL SPECIFICATION: LATERAL RESTRAINT MANDATE

Like all standard stand-off structural supports, the APB100/150 operates strictly as a pinned structural connection. It is engineered exclusively to resist vertical axial loads and downward 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).

TECHNICAL DATA & DESIGN CAPACITIES

Specification Parameter Engineered Values & Materials
Base Plate Dimensions 130mm x 130mm square footprint
Stand-Off Ground Clearance Fully adjustable telescopic screw range from 100mm to 150mm
Material Composition Premium pre-galvanised mild steel body plate array
Corrosion Protection Grade Electro-galvanised zinc (EZ) plating finish (Optimized for Service Class 2 exposures; EN 15804 EPD certified)
Characteristic Capacities R1,k (Downward Vertical Compression) = 64.8 kN (C24 Timber columns)
Fastener Requirements (Timber) Requires 4 No. structural coach screws (e.g. SSH10x60mm to SSH10x75mm into timber end grain)
Fastener Requirements (Concrete) Requires 4 No. M10/M12 structural anchors (e.g. SET-XP or AT-HP dependent on spacing rules; Ø12mm anchor holes provided)

KEY STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES

  • Dynamic Threaded Height Adjustment: Integrated structural screw mechanism permits variable leveling adjustments from 100mm up to 150mm on-site prior to final loading.
  • Reliable Compression Loading: Solid structural engineering provides a robust downward characteristic capacity profile of up to 64.8 kN.
  • Protected Stand-Off Architecture: Safely elevates timber columns clear of pooling slab moisture, creating a critical structural break that stops decay trajectories.
  • Certified Standards Alignment: Fully ETA and CE approved component array guaranteeing dependable, uniform performance specifications under load.

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.
