Simple, Tool-Free Installation
No need for drilling or specialized equipment. Just hammer the plate into the post and set it into place before the concrete pour. -
Durable & Decay-Resistant
Available in galvanized or hot-dipped galvanized finishes, the plate stands up to elements and protects the post’s center from moisture and rot. -
