What Customers Are Saying

The 6x6 post base is a functional product that is easy to install and effective at keeping posts off the ground. Many customers found it adjustable and useful for preventing post rot. However, some felt the thin metal construction was of questionable quality and the product was overpriced. A few also reported issues with the fit for 6x6 pressure-treated posts being too tight.
