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)

These are indeed heavy-duty steel, with a black powder coating. Im using these for several projects, the first being to mount a post on which to install part of my home weather station (rain gauge and thermometer/hygrometer). For this lightweight application, the included hardware is fine. For an installation where safety is important like a railing, I might be inclined to upgrade the screws to something longer/thicker, but your mileage may vary. The sides of the holder have an attractive shape at the top if you are looking for something that looks less industrial than some of the others on the market.

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.

These post bases are very cleanly made (no over-welding) the base itself is thicker than the sides and should hold up very well with proper installation. Well be using ours to set up a patio sail or two with some antique string lights thrown in for ambiance. While screws were provided, I will likely be opting for some slightly larger ones with a bit deeper bite (as I tend prefer a little overkill when it comes to projects like this... go big or go home... right?). These bases will give the project a nice, finished look

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!

Super nice - these bases are very heavy duty. The listing says it is 2mm steel and although it sounds thick, I cant think in metric and now that I see and feel them I agree that its a substantial piece. The powder coating and welds are excellent. It will definitely hold the lumber in place because of how solid it is. I bought a set of plain brackets to build an entire pergola but I will change out the bases with these as the design is very ornate. Great set of brackets - especially for the price!

These bases have a very nice heavyweight to them and will help make a very nice enclosure for our barbecue area. Nicer than I expected and a great design too

Over the years, I’ve seen some good quality post base brackets and I’ve seen some cheaply made ones. These Insaga brackets are some of the best I’ve come across... attractive... nice finish... no burrs or rough edges... very heavy duty. This set of four is fairly priced.

I was given the opportunity to review the INSAGA 4X4 Post Bases and all I can say is WOW! The item arrived within a couple days in a box that was quite heavy. I was confused as to what I ordered that was that heavy. Im mentioning this point because these decorative post bases are made of HEAVY DUTY , powder coated black, steel. Now that was a surprise, and a great surprise. AND, the are BEAUTIFUL! Look at the included pics and you will see how beautiful and what an upgrade to what I am currently using to support some 4X4 posts on my (very dirty) deck. These are going to be a beautiful compliment to my freestanding posts Im using on my deck. VERY PLEASED.

Ordered these for our backyard Pergola. I liked how they looked in the photos but I wasn’t sure what to expect. When the box arrived I was surprised at how heavy it was. Once open, I was pleasantly surprised at how nicely made these post bases are. Made from Heavy steel with super clean welds and a durable black finish. These are built to last and I’ve got no doubt that we’ll get many years of service from them. If only everything you bought was made this well. You will not be disappointed if you use these for your wooden post project. Two thumbs up.
