BDHD10A Bolt-Down Bar Table Base

The FLAT Tech BDHD10A is a bolt-down, 4 inch heavy-duty bar height table base built for steady service in busy hospitality spaces. When your plan calls for fixed seating or protected aisles, this model anchors to the floor to prevent wobble, drift, and creep. The zinc-coated steel build handles moisture and daily cleaning, while the compact footprint helps keep pathways open for staff and guests.

At a Glance

Type: Bolt-down bar table base. Finish: Zinc-coated steel. Column: 4 inch round. Top plate: 12 inch heavy-gauge. Footprint: Small, floor-anchored. Top size: Up to 40 inches round or square. Best for: High traffic zones, bar height installs, permanent layouts.

Stability You Can Feel

Because the BDHD10A is floor-anchored, the column and top plate remain fixed under load. Glassware stays steady, table tops feel firm, and guests stay comfortable even with uneven floors or heavy traffic. The strong 4 inch column and rigid 12 inch plate add stiffness, while the compact base keeps circulation clear around rails, drink ledges, and high-top stations.

Top Size and Compatibility

Recommended top sizes: square or round tabletops up to 40 inches wide
Top materials: solid wood, composite, or stone with proper inserts
Mounting: standard top plate pattern; tabletop screws sold separately

These ranges cover most bar-height two-tops and many compact four-top layouts. If you plan thicker stone or oversized slabs, confirm insert selection and fastener guidance first.

Where This Base Shines

High-top seating zones that need a clean, fixed footprint
Busy aisles where freestanding bases may slide during service
Standing rails, host perches, drink ledges, and tight alcoves

For flexible seating you move often, a freestanding base can work better. When you want a permanent plan that does not shift, bolt-down is the right choice.

Installation Notes

Mount to a solid subfloor or prepared concrete using anchors rated for your substrate. Check bolt spacing and hole patterns before coring or drilling. For stone or solid-surface tops, use the maker’s approved inserts. Make sure the base, fasteners, and tabletop work together for the expected load and span.

Pro Tip

Lay out conduit and bolt locations before flooring goes down. Pre-sleeving anchor points helps you set each bolt-down base on the centerline of your seating plan.

Care and Maintenance

Set a schedule to check fasteners, especially in high-traffic zones. Clean the zinc-coated surface with a damp microfiber cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh solvents that may dull the coating. If a top is removed for service, tighten all mounting hardware to spec during reassembly.

Did You Know?

Bolt-down bases reduce re-leveling time through the season because the mounting point does not move when chairs bump tables or staff shift furniture during cleanup.

Featured Answer

Which Restaurant table bases work best for busy bar areas?

Bolt-down designs keep footpaths clear and stop drift because the base anchors to the floor. Use bolt-down for high-traffic rails and two-top rows, then pair with freestanding Restaurant table bases where you want flexibility for events or seasonal changes.
