The porch is done looks great

Very good product,strong and very easy to install, I found everything I needed for the installation! And when the job was done it looked beautiful.

We were replacing our wood deck with composite decking and needed to replace all of the posts. These did the job and are very sturdy and easy to install.

installed 4' fiberon fence system across front porch. Was easy to install on cement slab and looks great. No more rotting wood!

Should be taller so we can cut it to the desired height. This ONLY works if you are able to place it on the first step, otherwise it's too short. The concrete anchors are cheap and shear easily.

The only complaint I had was that the 6 inch bolts that were given weren't long enough to reach thru the plate,decking, and the triple plate of 2 x 6"sI built to strengthen the bolt connection. I had to buy lag bolts to use instead. Therefore, all of the screws nuts, and bolts were useless. It cost me $60 extra dollars for the galvanized lag bolts I had tp buy. Can I get reimbursed for the extra cost?

The product needed shims around the sleeves to make the post that it did not have any wobble or play in it.

3 of 4 lag screws snapped during installation

This is a great system. This post is strong (on concrete). The overall system is pretty easy to install. I recommend it.

These flush mounted posts are great for wood or concrete. The only issue I’ve had so far with installing them is the lag bolts for the concrete installation seem to snap too easily when tightening. They’re not hardened enough.

Overpriced n installer had problems installing them .

I thought I had to add additional posts in cement but tried this post and seems as solid as my posts that were cemented in the ground. I mounted it with 4 1/2 Galv bolts with another piece of 2 x 6 under the deck board. Screwed piece of deck board (2x6) under before drilling holes. Good luck !

Seems like a good alternative at almost half the cost of the Trex system.

The anchors, going into the concrete were so cheap they would have broke off, putting them in. The screws were so long (6-8 inches long)that if one broke in the concrete, we wouldn’t have gotten it out. Had to go buy anchors and screws for $50.00. Then, the screws going into the post cover were so long, that we had to get more screws, half the length, because they surely wouldn’t go through the steel post. (At a cost of $10). The screws were to butt up to the inside post, which was impossible! The only things usable were the post, post covers, and two pieces that fit inside the posts. It was a nightmare!!!

Would give anything if these were aluminum

Ok for deck railings but very difficult to use on stairs.

I love this product, re-doing my deck and there were a few spots where this was easier than putting in a 4×4 wooden post. But these are just as sturdy and easy to install.

Easy to install and is stronger than a wood post.

first off if your doing these yourself then be prepared to put in the work if your going over concrete....everyone complains that the bolts snap off....here's the deal...drill the holes and vacuum out the dust...repeat at least 3 times...and you won't snap anything...you must drill at least 3.5 inches deep...then vacuum out the holes....leveling is easy using the shims and finding the angle is easy by laying a 2x4 over steps and tracing the lines....hardest part was putting the top rail on and lining up pickets...they here very strong and sturdy....just pay attention to good clean drilled holes and you'll be fine

I am very happy with this product, it is firm and sturdy. I felt the cost was excellent
