What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the brackets for securely holding 4x4 posts on concrete, decking, and beams with minimal installation effort. Most highlight the reliable performance, easy alignment with treated lumber, and J-bolt system allowing post adjustments. The design requires no carpentry experience and delivers strong, stable connections suitable for decks, sheds, and treehouses. Some note the thin metal construction and feel the price is high, while a few report isolated issues with taller posts or concrete mounting. Overall, reviewers consider the brackets effective and worth purchasing despite minor concerns.

Would RecommendWorks exactly as described
A little flimsy but does the job.
Would RecommendI bought this for a project where I was adding a post and a trellis to the post that was already there holding up my front door portico, so that I could plant a really large climbing rose bush to train up the trellis and over the portico to create an arch of flowers over the front door. I needed to install another post to the top of the portico beam to attach the other side of the trellis to, so I chose this to complete the job. The tie worked finecand was inexpensive, it fit the nominal lumber ...

Expensive
Would Not RecommendCost WAY TOO MUCH for a small piece of bent metal with holes in it... outrageously overpriced for what it is!
They are slightly thin but do the job.
Would RecommendThe brackets are super easy to use. They accommodate 1/2 in bolts and 4 smaller fasteners into the concrete or wood
