6x6 Post Anchor HD Aluminum Structural - Ornamental- Powder Coated

The base opening shrinks slightly as the it deepens. Depending on the width of the post it may not drop down to base. Put a small mark on the post equal to the depth of the fixture. This will aid in determining if the post is fully seated. I had to tap a couple of my posts down with a sledge.One of the bases was cast in a manner that allowed water to pool on the corners and did not drain, as seen in the photo. I did not want pooling water to wick up the post and cause rot. I drilled holes in the corners and the water drained almost immediately. This may have been unnecessary but now was the last opportunity to act.

A quality product and well designed. The anchor block can be secured multiple ways. Some real thought was put in to a relatively simple product. A couple of examples are the manufacturer actually created a wedge fit for the post to make for tighter construction. Also it is smaller than standard dimensional lumber so the drip line is out side the anchor block. There are multiple means, due to construction of the block, to attached the block to its base. Again, a lot of thought went into this very simple product. Finish is great.

I used these with pressure treated 6 x 6 for my pergola. Because of moisture content with new PT the lumber runs slightly big. I had to take a rasp to the bottom 1.5 inches of the 6 x 6. This is approx how much the post sits into the anchor. Took me about 2 minutes to fit each post. Very simple.

I would like to have used this product for a pavilion I am constructing in my back yard but the post anchors will not hold a 6 X 6 post? I now have six of these bases and can't do anything with them.

Although I ended up not using this product (it didn’t fit my specific application), the company is outstanding. The quality of the product felt very heavy and sturdy. I called the company for them installation guidance and they personally took the time to not only understand my application, but went out of their way to help me find the best product to use. I will be a returning customer and 100% recommend this company!

These bases raises our posts off resting on the concrete so the cut ends are not sitting and wicking up moisture. Plus they give a finished look. Love them!

These worked great except for the fact that I had to drill some of the drain holes out and some of the side holes were too close to the edge. Use with black side hardware to make it look nice.

Had one out of 4 6x6 that was over sized, making is a little difficult to get in base, otherwise worked well and looks great so far.
