I have 4 by 4 fence posts rotting in the ground without cement. Will this work or what would you recommend?

Not sure what you are asking because these are intended to be mounted on a concrete slab or footing and if you are wanting to support a fence on solid ground then you will to dig up the old post and reinstall with concrete. But if fence is going across a concrete driveway or similar then yes it will work with proper concrete anchors.

This base is to only be used when bolted or screwed to a solid surface or foundation. To insert 4x4 posts into loose ground, you may want to look at Simpson Strong Tie Simpson Strong Tie FPBS44 EZ Spike base.

This is made to meet a 4x with a flat wood or cement surface. The bottom has a stopper. I would replace with a PT 4x and anchor with cement.

Simpson Strong Ties are for attaching posts to solid concrete surfaces. If surfaces are at least 3-1/2" to 4" thick, Simpson Strong Ties are ideal.

Sorry , was rushing out but I meant in that you will need to remove the old rotted posts and replace them with new pressure treated posts and then add new cement for solid ground but post bases can only be used on flat surface (Wood or Concrete).

I anchored it to the ground with quick setting cement on the four posts. I have had it up for 3 years with 2 clematis vines growing on it with no problems.

I think it would work. I'm very happy with these. I have very heavy, large cement planters on mine.

I'd recommend picking up the Coleman 10 inch tent stakes. That's what I use. They are heavy duty and good for securing the tent to the ground. You'll need six at a minimum. The unit comes with decent stakes but I'd use them more for securing guy lines. You'll also need to pick up a heavy duty tarp to use at a foot print under it.

Yes, they will. I have them on 4x4 fence posts. I did have to take off the bottom stand, which was not a problem. I also put them on railroad tie posts at several gates. They are working fine.

This is not for a 4x4 post...either square or round........its for a metal pole or a wood pole like you would use in your closet. Either square or round will work as long as the pole is under about 2 "It really keeps the nest safe. ..from everything

I don't think cement would work. Don't think the fabric would be strong enough to hold it. Sand or rock is best.

I have used the 12 foot horizontal galvanized posts that you would use for a chain link fence (2), they are cheaper than the "antenna mounts". I used a post hole digger to bury the bottom down 18" or so, concrete optional, and braced near the top of the house. I have a ranch house, so you may need to adjust for a taller structure.

Yes, but you will need longer screws. I have mine mounted on 4X4 fence post. I use stainless steel screws instead of the one that came with the pole. Good luck to you. YY

They should work well in this application on smooth surfaces like a plastic fence or plastic siding. On rough surfaces you could add a layer of 3M double sided mounting tape. In the long term they may become brittle outdoors.

It depends on your hole. We dug the hole to what the instructions said and used 5 1/2 bags of cement.

I got 12" metal spikes from Home Depot to stick into the ground (dirt). To secure better than that, you may want to consider pouring quick dry cement 1st, then use the spikes.

You kind of have to experiment to see what works for you. I have used stakes that where two by twos anchored in cement and also tried sunflower stalks. The solid stakes can take spacing of up to 8 feet. With flimsier stakes, I'd say half that.

I think you wouldn't want to cement them in as you can the adjust them over time to make sure the net stays tight. The stakes are about 3ft long, so I don't know how deep you sand is, but they should work just fine pounding them in. Try it, if it doesn't work you can always return it. We love our net!

We bought brackets and put 4x4 posts inside the pvc posts and then bolted the brackets to the posts and to our concrete patio. You could cut square holes in pavers then concrete your 4x4 posts in ground then slide your pvc posts over the wooden 4x4's

If you have four hard points to mount brackets too (i.e. house, trees, etc.) than you can use things like this to anchor to. However if you need to use posts than I would defintly recommend using at least 3 feet deep of concrete. There is going to be a lot of tension on the posts especially in windy conditions so concrete is very essential to keep the posts from losening up and pulling out of the ground.

Probably not. It needs a very solid post underneath and the hardware that comes with it is for that exact purpose. We have ours mounted to a 4 x 4 inch piece of wood installed in cement. We really like it for lots of reasons, but you would have to buy different hardware to attach it to a gate or fence, and you might not be equally happy with the result
