Insaga 4x4 Post Base, Inner Size 3.6 x 3.6 Wood Fence Post Anchor Base, Heavy Duty Post Base Brackets for Pergola Fence Kit, Deck Post Base, Porch Railing Post Holders (Set of 4)

Post holders such as this are essential to many deck / pergola / etc. projects. Anywhere that you want to use a 4x4 upright and not use the ugly galvanized hardware store brackets. These are priced about right and are well-constructed of good gauge steel, nicely welded, and appear to be powder coated. Time will tell if the finish holds up without rusting - Ill update if there are any problems. But for now, these represent a good value.

These are incredibly strong and well made. I used one with a 4-inch diameter round wooden post for a cat scratching post and it worked great. The next two will be used for a 4-foot dog gate to block our dog run. Itll be two posts with cross-sections to block the dog on our side yard. These will make great post bases so the gate will side steadily on the cement, yet still be mobile to adjust the gate position. The point is that these allow your building imagination to run wild. These will add stability, strength, and weatherproofing to the base of your posts on any of your projects. The decoration on the sides of the post bases is a nice touch and adds some appeal. The 4x4 size description is accurate. I checked it with a tape measure. I fitted a 4x4 post inside and it fight tightly without wiggle room. I plan to use these bases for future temporary fencing projects (patio privacy fence, pool equipment enclosure, etc.).

The decoration on the bases looks great. More importantly, these are made with thick sturdy metal. There are 4 large drainage holes on the bottom to prevent water from pooling causing rust and rot. A bag of mounting hardware is included. I will be using them as part of a greenhouse build once the land is cleared.

These 4x4 post bases are quite heavy, and feel very sturdy. They should work fine for putting up a pergola/gazebo, archway, fence, or other applications... These fit nominal 4x4 beams. Just secure the base to a flat surface, drop in the beam, and then secure them with screws (via the holes on the sides). For lighter/non-structural applications you might not even need to secure the bases to the ground. Do not try to use true 4 square beams, as you would need to whittle down the ends where it connects with these bases.

These are much better looking and a lot stronger than the galvanized ones I buy at the lumber yard. They fit the post, and even have a metal plate in the bottom to keep the post off whatever is under it. Very nice. If you plan to stain or paint I suggest you do it before you put the posts into these anchors.

I wanted some cover above my grill area so I’m building a solid, slanted roof structure like a pergola bit with a waterproof roof. These are perfect for the 4 posts. They are heavy duty and perfect for 4x4 posts. For my project, they will work great. Solid buy.

Build Quality The 4x4 mounts are well made and have no defects. The paint covers the entire mount. The steel is thick, straight and strong. This meets my expectations and is a very strudy support for a 4x4 post. Installation These post mounts can be mounted to concrete using threaded rods easily. Once mounted 4x4 can be added and secured using securing screws using the provided holes. Use: There is a slight(appropriate) amount of space to insert a 4x4 with no need for a shim. Once secured and framed out they are very sturdy. Final thoughts: these are excellent 4x4 mounts that are thick , durable, precision made and they look great. I recommend them!

These look nicer than the standard black coated brackets to add a little decoration to our railing. Welds seem good, quality feels good, I havent owned long enough to speak to them withstanding the test of time and abuse of rain and snow. I will update this post if they fail prematurely.

I am in the process of building a free-standing Pergola, and need something to hold the 4 main vertical posts secure to the ground (concrete, but apparently wood mounting works too). The local hardware store did have solutions, but the offerings were bland and very expensive - at least 25 dollars each. The post bases came with the required hardware to mount to a surface, and to secure the wood post to the base. The surface mount bolts will work great for concrete, but you will need to get another type of bolt/screw for wood deck mounting etc. The post bases are heavy duty, and make a nice base. The design provides a little bit of accent to your environment. The black surface seems heavy duty. For example, one base fell out of the package and in the rocks. Not a single scratch or marking. I also like the drain holes in the bottom of the base. My previous patio cover did not have these - and surprise - the bottom part has rotted over the years. Pretty simple and straight forward - high quality and visually appealing. Also cheaper than big box stores. Highly recommend!

Purchased these for an outside pergola and they really added that extra touch!
