Post base: stainless steel or no?

16 years ago

Hi Folks - Getting ready to start a free standing deck project (diy). Need to place some 6x6 treated posts, and was planning on using the Simpson ABU66 adjustable post base (or the ABA66). Just wondering if I spend the $$$ for the stainless steel bases or go with the "z-max" version? There is a big price difference...just want to reality check before I make the purchase. I only need 4 of them, and don't mind paying the extra dollars for ss if it is worth it to avoid any corrosion issues with the treated wood. I am wondering what the experience has been in the field.

Thanks Much...

-Dave
