Strong and sturdy
Would RecommendOnce this is in, it's not going anywhere. I used it to build a redneck diving board.
Pricy, but effective!
1st time I bought this. It was used to bolt down a handicap ramp in a concrete carport. I had to shave the 4x4 post a little bit on each side, but it allowed the post to completely support the rail without any wobbling. I will use it in the future. It is a bit expensive, but very safe! Jerry
