Our take on the Simpson Strong-Tie Post Base

The Simpson Strong-Tie E-Z Base is a powder-coated steel post base that anchors 4x4 wood posts to existing concrete. It stands out for its retrofit design, which lets you install it without removing the post, and its 12-gauge construction. It suits deck builders and homeowners reinforcing or replacing posts on patios, porches, and carports. Compared with adjustable post bases, it offers simpler installation but less height adjustment and no standoff for water drainage.
