Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

Great Option for attached posts to concrete.
They were perfect for attaching 4x4s to concrete footing and they were at a good price compared to other stores and online.

Great for keeping posts anchored to concrete.
Would RecommendWorks as designed. I highly recommend a good concrete/mortar drill bit and quality masonry anchors. I used butyl tape in between the board and anchor just for extra insurance but this keeps the wood up away from moisture week enough that it's not a requirement.

Good product, too expensive!
Would Not RecommendI needed the 4x4 base supports. Does the job, but way over priced. We paid $12.99 each and before Covid they were $3.99. I know it was three years ago, but inflation is not that high!
