      A:  Yes…they say 4x4 but the real size is 3.5 by 3.5.  The everyday 4x4 posts at your favorite home improvement store works.

        A:  Yes they do.The railing kits I used came with 3.5x3.5 posts and after 2 NW Pa winters they are still solid and rust free.

          A:  Yes, this product is designed for a post measuring 3.5''x3.5".

            A:  Yes. I used them for my deck. I would recommend getting the Base 44 Deck Post Base Bracket to go with it for better stability.

              A:  yes, it works. I used it to add more posts on my deck

                        A:  No. Use with the post base bracket for solid support.

                        by|Jul 10, 2022

                        A:  Possibly but the cap that goes over it creates a very strong finished product. We have the plate and cap and would not have done it any other way.

                        A:  All I used was the base plates and they are working great.

                        A:  Hello Sir, Even if the Fixplak 44 work well by it's own, we do recommand to use them with the Base 44 ( collar ). For 2 reasons : is it sturdier and better looking in our opinion. Anything else, please let us know. Thanks
