What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this post base for its reliability, ease of installation, and effectiveness in protecting wood posts from ground moisture and rot. Most highlight straightforward installation requiring no special tools, with the product fitting snugly and elevating posts reliably off the ground. Reviewers consistently commend the sturdy, heavy-duty steel construction and durability, noting it significantly extends wooden structure lifespan. While some find the price high, the majority consider it a worthwhile investment. A few mention minor installation quirks like anchor hole patterns or slightly tight fits on nominal posts.

Where did they go?

Would Recommend

The products were great, but after digging a base hole, inserting the hurricane strap, mixing the concrete and filling the hole and placing the post bracket! After the post, trim boards, it was all covered up and not visible, but I know that it would work, and where it is!
