What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this product for reliably securing wood posts to concrete with exceptional durability and ease of installation. Most highlight the thick-gauge metal construction, sturdy design, and effectiveness in preventing wood rot by keeping posts elevated off damp surfaces. Many appreciate the straightforward installation process and flexibility to adjust post positioning after mounting. The 6x6 post fit is consistently noted as perfect. A few report minor alignment issues with top holes or wobbling on uneven concrete, but these isolated concerns do not diminish the strong overall satisfaction and recommendation rate.

Would RecommendWork 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.
That a 4x4 cedar post won’t fit them
Would RecommendNothing
Not your average bracket
Would RecommendVery easy to install and a great product that’s been proven over time
good,simple
Would RecommendSolid retrofit base for adding structure to existi
Would RecommendThese retrofit bases make it easy to add a 4x4 post to existing concrete without core drilling. Set the anchor bolts, bolt the base down, drop the post in. The ZMAX coating is heavy duty and the fit is tight. Simpson makes the right hardware for every situation.
No rot to bottom of wood post!
Would RecommendBest 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!
Easy
Easy to attach
Worked really well for what I needed
Would RecommendWorked 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.
