            <h1>CB/CBS Column Base Installation Guide</h1>
            <p>The CB is designed to connect posts to concrete foundations for a wide range of lumber, glulam, and engineered wood product sizes. This column base is either cast-in-place or wet set into the concrete where the bottom of the base plate sits flush with the concrete for full post bearing. The CB is ideal for columns that require high structural values and rugged performance.</p>
            <p>The CBS is designed to be the interface between columns and their foundations. The main function of this column base is to link the column to the concrete footing surface and thereby transmit the structure’s stresses to the foundation. The 1" standoff of the CBS meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or exposed to weather or water splash.</p>
