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.

Where did they go?
Would RecommendThe 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!
