All snapped in under 24 hours due to moderate wind
Trash. Embedded into concrete up to the top section for a wooden fence. Every single base that didn't have additional strengthening either snapped the top section from the embedded posts or the top section snapped into multiple pieces. Woke up to the fence portion completed laying on its side the day after putting it up.
Absolute garbage product.

Response from Simpson Strong-TieNov 9, 2022
Hey TBoni, this is Ricardo. We are sorry to hear that you had this experience with our product. The EPB Elevated Post Base is not a suggested product to use in applications where there is no bracing or support at the top. Please see this note from page 72 of our Wood Construction Connectors Catalog. "Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports)." We do offer some products that are designed to resist this rotation when bracing is not present. Please contact us at 800-999-5099 to discuss further.

Worked great for setting a 4x4 newel post in a new concrete footing. It feels very sturdy. I would buy again.
