I am installing 8' 4x4 post to concrete. Is the height going to be an issue for this anchor?

I installed a 6-foot post for the latch side of a gate. It was not very sturdy. I bought two heavy L-brackets and attched the post to the house, near the top. It is really sturdy now, but otherwise it was not sturdy enough. The anchor seems heavy duty, but when you put in a six or eight foot post, the metal has too much give. Maybe something with bolts on all four sides would be better, don't know for sure.

Should be ok. I've installed 8 ft tall 4x4 fence posts on top of railroad ties (actually bridge timber) using these. But it really depends on what you're building. If this is a fence where you'll have lateral support with 2x4 or other material, then you're ok.

If you are referring to heighth of post it will not matter if its not free standing, meaning you are attaching top of post to something sturdy.

If sufficiently bolted to concrete, then no, there should be no height issue.

No. The straps that wrap around the post are only 16" long. You would need 22" at a minimum.

I put in wood posts that go up 8'. If not in a deck, I would use metal posts in concrete.

Well, the description clearly states "Mounts easily to 4 x 4 post (not included)" so the answer would be "no".

Sure. You'll need a concrete anchor. Just swap the provided screws for the one you'll use to thread into the anchor.

In a very windy area you should probably extend the anchors down farther with rebar, maybe another foot.

It has to be installed over an existing post secured in the ground. They recomend a 4x4 but I had a 3 inch round aluminum pole set in concrete so I made wooden adapter brackets so the post thought it was going over a 4x4. Pictures available on request

Andre, the anchor is large enough for an 8' to fit. The deeper you can sink it into the sand, the better it will hold in gusty winds.

No I don't think the height would affect it. I used the supplied posts for part of my fence but used standard nail-in insulators for other parts.

We also put ours on a 6 foot tall fence post. But, I don't know why this pole wouldn't work. Good luck

I mounted mine between the rafters hanging from a 2x4. Mine is 12inches. I believe with some bracket modifications because of the gear on top and the way the rails are mounted that 8inches could be possible.

I installed mine on my back deck which has a four foot wooden rail. I screwed it into the upright wooden posts. The only issue I could see is you would need to drill and use bolts instead of screws if you are attaching to metal posts.

i would suggest get appropriate size concrete anchor screw if you want to mount on concrete floors.take the bottom plate off and take it to hard ware store to match it with the largest size anchor bolts you can get.

On concrete the absolute height to the base plate is around 63" but the setup would be unstable.Staked firmly in the ground Gilbert would be correct (about 60" to the baseplate).

Yes it should not be a problem. Try it first with just the screw that comes with the clip, if it loosens up, then you might want to use a plastic expanding anchor.

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

It will accept a 2x8; or a 2x6 if you want a little more anchor to insert into the ground. These are powder coated steel,and very well made. Hope this helps!
