What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these post anchors for their heavy-duty construction, rock-solid stability, and ability to prevent rot by elevating posts off concrete. The ZMAX coating resists corrosion effectively, and the pre-drilled holes with split-side design allow easy alignment during installation. Most reviewers highlight durability and code compliance as key strengths, calling them the best choice for decks and outdoor structures. A few mention needing additional washers or note alignment requires patience, but these minor concerns barely diminish the strong consensus that performance justifies the investment for critical structural applications.

Solid retrofit base for adding structure to existi

Would Recommend

These 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.
