In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Simpson Strong-Tie APVB 6 in. H x 5.5 in. W 16 Ga. Steel Adjustable Post Base combines rugged steel construction with precise adjustability to support reliable framing joints. Crafted from 16-gauge steel, this base is built to endure structural demands while providing flexible height alignment for posts in varied job-site conditions.

  • Adjustable post base (APVB) design lets you fine-tune post height so you can achieve true plumb and level even when surfaces aren’t perfectly even.
  • Dimensions you can rely on: 6 in. in height and a 5.5 in. wide footprint, delivering a stable, predictable base for vertical posts.
  • Material integrity: solid 16-gauge steel ensures strong load transfer and long-term performance in structural framing.
  • Trusted brand— from Simpson Strong-Tie, a name synonymous with dependable hardware for professional builders and serious DIY projects. Sub Brand APVB signals a dedicated line of adjustable post bases designed for robust support.

This APVB base is ideal for projects where post alignment matters as much as strength, such as decks, porches, pergolas, or other wood-framed structures that demand precise verticality. Its compact, intentional footprint makes installations straightforward in tight spaces, while the adjustable feature minimizes rework and helps you lock posts into the exact position you need.

Why choose this base over other options? It brings together the reliability of Simpson Strong-Tie with a focused adjustable design, giving you predictable performance, consistent dimensions, and the confidence that comes from using a component engineered for structural framing. Use this 6 in. H x 5.5 in. W, 16-gauge steel APVB base whenever you require a sturdy, adjustable post foundation that you can trust from day one.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
