YardPod foundations are normally built with a concrete slab, if the ground is level, or on concrete piers for a flat or sloping site. Piers generally cost less.

The choice of foundation will depend on the slope of the ground and the soil conditions. It is recommended that an engineer be consulted for all except a level to moderate slope on good ground. Steep slopes will require engineering.

Popular foundations include:

  • Concrete Pier
  • Precast Concrete Pier
  • Concrete Slab
  • Gravel Bed
  • Screw Pile

Simpson Strong-Tie Elevated Post Base

Post and Column Bases secure the bottom of posts or columns to concrete and are perfect for decks or patio covers. Models are available for attaching to existing hardened concrete, wet concrete, as well as wood. The EPB series provides a connection between a post (or column) for decks, patio covers and other top-supported structures.

  • Added standoff adjustability to suit a variety of applications
  • Install in wet concrete
  • Provides the code-required 1 in. standoff when properly installed, allows up to 2-1/2 in. of standoff above concrete (if desired)
  • Not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports)
  • Made from 12-Gauge steel
  • Hot-dip galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
  • Install with 3/4 in. Dia anchor bolt and 16d common nails or 10 x 1-1/2 in. strong-drive SD screws
