the second stirrup plate defines a second threaded through hole configured to receive a second bolt, the second bolt operable to laterally displace the second stirrup plate along the second tab.

3. The post base assembly of claim 1 wherein:

a first gap is disposed between the first tab and the first wall of the first cutout, the first gap sized and shaped to receive the first center tab of the first stirrup plate; and

a second gap is disposed between the second tab and the second wall of the second cutout, the second gap sized and shaped to receive the second center tab of the second stirrup plate.

4. The post base assembly of claim 1 wherein the first side wall defines at least one first notch bent into the first tab and the second side wall defines at least one second notch bent into the second tab.

5. The post base assembly of claim 1 wherein each of the first and second cutouts is rectangular shaped.

6. The post base assembly of claim 1 wherein a bend is disposed at a junction of each peripheral side wall and the post support wall.

7. The post base assembly of claim 1 wherein each of the first and second side walls is planar.

8. A post base assembly, comprising:

a base member comprising a post support wall and a plurality of peripheral side walls extending from the post support wall, the post support wall defining a first cutout and a second cutout disposed opposite the first cutout, the base member further comprising a plurality of tabs each extending inward toward a first wall of a respective cutout; and

a plurality of stirrup plates each comprising a center tab and at least one slot sized and shaped to receive one of the plurality of tabs and further comprising a mounting face defining at least one mounting hole configured to receive a mounting device to secure the stirrup plate to a face of a structural member.

9. The post base assembly of claim 8 wherein a notch is disposed on each side of each center tab.

10. The post base assembly of claim 8 wherein each stirrup plate includes an ornamental end disposed opposite the center tab.

11. The post base assembly of claim 8 wherein each tab extends toward a center of the base member.

12. The post base assembly of claim 8 wherein each stirrup plate defines a threaded through hole configured to receive a bolt, the bolt operable to laterally displace the stirrup plate along the one of the plurality of tabs.

13. The post base assembly of claim 8 wherein the base member is sized to support the structural member having a six inch-by-six inch cross section.

14. The post base assembly of claim 8 wherein the base member is sized to support the structural member having a four-by-four inch cross section.

15. The post base assembly of claim 8 wherein the base member is sized to support the structural member having an eight-by-eight inch cross section.

16. The post base assembly of claim 8 wherein the plurality of stirrup plates comprises four stirrup plates.

17. An assembly, comprising:

a base member comprising a post support wall and a plurality of peripheral side walls extending from the post support wall, the post support wall defining a first cutout and a second cutout disposed opposite the first cutout, the base member further comprising a plurality of tabs each extending inward toward a first wall of a respective cutout; and

a plurality of stirrup plates each comprising a center tab and at least one slot sized and shaped to receive one of the plurality of tabs and further comprising a mounting face defining a pair of mounting holes each configured to receive a mounting device to secure the stirrup plate to a face of a structural member, each stirrup plate defining a threaded through hole configured to receive a bolt, the bolt operable to displace the stirrup plate along the one of the plurality of tabs.

18. The assembly of claim 17 wherein each stirrup plate comprises a second pair of mounting holes spaced apart from the first pair of mounting holes.

19. The assembly of claim 17 wherein the base member includes at least one through hole configured to receive a foundation mounting device to secure the base member to a foundation.

20. The assembly of claim 17 wherein each stirrup plate comprises an ornamental end disposed opposite the center tab.
