Easy to use

Ease of use

Fantastic! Made putting up my posts so much easier.

Worked great with J-Bolts for deck building

Work great to hold 6x6 to concrete. Make sure to use j-bolt wet set anchors if you want to work quickly. The screw in type need to let the concrete set for a couple weeks first. Remember these just prevent uplift - your posts will be wobbly still until adding the beams and joists, that’s normal.

Not your average bracket

Very easy to install and a great product that’s been proven over time

No rot to bottom of wood post!

Best system for long-term preservation of wood post end when attaching the post to a concrete footing, it’s worth the investment, no more worrying about when your post will deteriorate!

Worked really well for what I needed

Worked perfectly on the footers. I did have to ever so slightly shave down the edges of the 6x6 so it fit in the base and allowed for nailing it in, but was nothing major.

Good Support Base for 6x6 Posts

This 6x6 post metal base is a sturdy and effective product that was easy to install. I used it for my wood deck posts to secure it to the concrete and it provided a secure, sturdy and solid connection between the posts and concrete footings. The construction is durable, and the installation process was straightforward. Although they are pricey, I am very pleased with the quality and would recommend it to anyone building a deck or other outdoor structure.
