Ratings & Reviews for Trex 4-in x 4-in Charcoal Black Composite Deck post base trim
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
The Trex deck post base trim is generally well-received for its ease of installation and ability to enhance the overall appearance of a deck. Customers found the two-piece snap-together design simple to use, and the color match to Trex posts and railings was appreciated. However, some users encountered sizing issues, as the trim was advertised as 4x4 inches but actually measured 4.5x4.5 inches, causing compatibility problems. Additionally, a few reviewers felt the trim was made of lower quality materials and lacked durability. Overall, the trim can be a useful accessory when properly sized and installed.

Would Not RecommendThis product was too big. I have a standard 4x4 post (actual measurement 3.5 x 3.5") with a white vinyl slip cover over it. I have no idea how this was measured, but it is way too big to fit around a covered 4 x 4 post. I do not how to find one that fits, except to measure what you have and then measure the trim.p to insure it fits correctly.
Nice base

Fits Well
Would RecommendI was worried a bit about the look of the seam because they are 2 pieces. But, they fit together well. I suppose it makes it so they could be used on an existing post.
