Simpson CPS10 10x10 Composite Plastic Standoff

I bought these to keep my metal footings from being in standing water when it rains. I actually need three more. They do a wonderful job!

Accomplish What They Are Intended For

This post base accomplishes what is was intended for. It is very simple and clean. You drill the hole up into the post, epoxy (I would suggest tipping the end up a little), put in all-thread, wait for the epoxy to set up a little, while you are waiting for the epoxy to set up a little you can hammer drill the concrete hole, when the epoxy is set up a little put this post base on the bottom of the post with four simple screws (super easy), put epoxy into the hole in the concrete, then set your post. It looks clean and sharp. I would say the only thing that I maybe don't like about it is it looks a little "plasticy", if that is a word. It doesn't have the look of a nice strong steel base connection. It looks a little cheap plastic like, but not bad at all. I hesitate saying anything because its not bad at all. I work on multi-million dollar homes and we usually have large steel plates, and knife plates, and welded connections, and bolted connections, and this just lacks a little in that heavy structural steel connection look. But I really like that it is very simple, inexpensive (especially compared to the large structural welded steel base connections), has the concealed look, and still looks nice and clean.
