The Simpson Strong-Tie E-Z retrofit post base allows for easy installation of 4x4 wood posts on existing concrete. The E-Z base can be bolted to the concrete with four 1/2" anchors like a Simpson Strong Bolt 2 wedge anchor or Titen HD large diameter concrete screw . I bought one of these in April '21 to make sure it fit on 4''x4'' posts. I got it and it seemed like good quality The E-Z Base and E-Z Spike products should not be used for solid fences in excess of 4' in height or that are unprotected from wind forces. These products are not rated for uplift loads and should not be used with posts for overhead structures or any other structure that requires resistance to wind uplift loads. Notwithstanding the terms of the Limited Warranty Simpson Strong-Tie does not guarantee represent or warrant that this product will prevent or reduce damage caused by corrosion or any seismic wind atmospheric or other load-producing event. PROS: Sturdy. Solid. Easy to put in in that they have 4 screwholes into the ground and 8 into the 4x4.

CONS: Holes for screwing down... it says to use 1/2 inch concrete wedge bolts. But you can't push them through the holes - the bolts are too big. SO, you must install bolts in ground then put these over them. That is HARD; very little room for any error at all in drilling holes and installing anchors.

To return faulty items see our Returning Faulty Items policy. Bigger issue... these are 1/8 inch or so too small for a standard 4x4! We bought the treated 4x4s at lowes - 12 of them - and every single one we had to plane and sand the corners round and 1/16 off each side before we could pound them into the base holders. It took about 10 minutes for each post and was really annoying.

Attach post to E-Z Base with (8) 1/4" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws or 1/4" HDG lag screws. Install on concrete with 1/2"-diameter anchors. Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent rotation about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations such as fences or unbraced carports
