Do you need to secure wood railing posts to a deck, stairs or a walkway? This easy-fit fence post base kit can save you time and money on installation.
Although these base covers can’t support a 6-foot tall fence or repair most rotting fence posts, they work very well for deck railings. Plus, you can use them when building hand rails, mailbox posts or even table legs.
1. Each easy-fit skirt flange is designed to fit a 4×4 piece of lumber (3.5″ x3.5″ actual size). Therefore, you can easily find wood for your building project without having to cut it to size.
2. In addition, the standard 4×4 bracket sizing makes installation quick and easy. Not to mention, the evenly-spaced screw holes and matching screws give this post plate a clean, finished look.
3. Furthermore, these heavy-duty post footings enable you to build freestanding railings or fences without having to dig. However, you will need to buy concrete screws separately to screw the bases to concrete.
Note: By the way, if you are building a new porch railing, you can also get matching post caps and railing connectors.
These hanger connectors add structural integrity to your railing while making installation easier. Plus, the pyramid-style top caps add modern, contemporary style without extra work (and minimal cost too).
This DIY base plate kit comes with a set of 4 skirt flanges with 8 post screws and 12 deck screws each. It looks similar to a wrought iron metal support bracket, yet this trim hardware costs significantly less.
