Tight!
Would RecommendThis bracket is tight! Tight enough we had to hammer the 4x4 into it. But, being tight and bolted down, that 4x4 was pretty stable, making the rest of the project go fairly smoothly.

Integral component for a sound construction projec
Would RecommendWell constructed product that securely holds the 4x4. Absolutely no movement experienced using this product. I chose this product for construction of a mobile platform, 35” high, 36” wide and 58” long wit steps from the ground to the platform. Very sturdy, should give excellent service.

Patio Light Post
Would RecommendPerfect! I ran some patio lights and needed a base for 4x4 10’ posts. I bolted them using red head concrete anchors, which I regret using. I had to shim to make sure the 4x4 posts were upright. Great quality! Use Hilti sleeve anchors instead.
Excellent Quality and finish is superb!
Would Recommendsolid piece of equipment! Once bolted down, this thing ain't movin'
