What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this fence post bracket for exceptional strength, secure fit, and straightforward installation. Most highlight how firmly it holds 4x4 posts without any movement or wobble, with many describing it as delivering unmatched rigidity for decks, railings, and pergolas. The black powder-coated finish resists rust effectively. Installation is consistently called easy, with pre-drilled holes streamlining setup. Some note the fit is tight, occasionally requiring minor post trimming, but users frame this as ensuring a secure connection. Despite a few mentioning higher cost, the overwhelming majority confirms it performs exceptionally and exceeds expectations for stability and durability.

You'll never want to build without them

E-Z Base 4-in x 4-in Powder-coated This E-Z Base makes deck building a breeze! We expanded our back deck this Spring and utilized the E-Z Base. This product can be added to both wood or concrete. It’s made of a heavy gauge steel and allows for a quick and easy attachment. Utilizing the bolt holes in the base as well as the sides ensures a secure foundation for railings. The black powder coating elevates the design. I’m pretty sure we’ll never building another deck without these bases.

Read the fine print in description

Would Recommend

This is a heavy duty bracket, and by far the best choice out of all the systems over the years to secure a 4x4 to concrete or wood in a deck rail situation. However, people who said they used this to repair rotten privacy fence posts are crazy. Its only designed for 48inch rail posts maximum. NOT TALL POSTS WITH A HUGE WIND LOAD! And anyone who has ever drilled into old post crete knows it will be unevenly distributed around the post, uneven, and shatter at the corners. So no anchor system will ...

We have your support

Would Recommend

Simmons easy fence post base is rugged steel post support. Make sure you purchase the string drive post connectors that are not included if attaching to concrete. This is a very stout steel support.

Real time saving brackets.

Would Recommend

In the beginning I was a little nervous because of how lightweight and thin this was but once it was anchored down tight it held the 4x4 in place and best of all it was thin enough to take the sleeve.
