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

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!

Easy tonuse

Here you have a very strong very easy to use permanent post base that can be used in wood or concrete. I am using it to add a handrail post to my composite deck.

Fits well

Fit 4 x 4 perfectly

Good

Well-regarded for its ease of installation and strength, particularly in retrofit application. Allows for straightforward attachment of 4x4 posts to existing concrete, eliminating the need for digging or pouring new concrete.

We have your support

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.

Great base

A extremely useful fence post base from Simpson , powder coated on a glossy black just place it and drill the holes don’t forget to use the right anchors , it definitely make it easier

Real time saving brackets.

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.

Strong winds and it held

Strong winds and heavy weight keep still

Great product

Works great. Keeps 4x4 good and sturdy.
