(4 PCS) LADECH 4×4 Post Anchor Base with Bottom Drainage Hole, Concealed Bolts, Black Powder Coated Brackets for Fence Posts, Pergola, Mailbox Post, Come with Wood Screws and Concrete Anchors

The mild steel in these post bases is 11/128″, about a third less than the usual 1/16″. TTwo of the edges on the upright part and all four sides of the bottom are welded. I am used to seeing faultless robotic welds on this type of “pergola” hardware, these are a bit sloppy by comparison. They are probably serviceable but that element of uncertainty in something that needs to survive a long, harsh life in the elements is not encouraging. The paint, which is claimed to be powder coat, is lumpy and/or bubbly. Either there was some material under the paint, or it was applied with drips and blobs. It does not feel like the paint bubbled, because there is no give in the raised parts. I am not too comfident of the paint, and I have never seen powder coat blob like this.On the other hand, the accessories are de luxe, including concrete anchors, drill bit, wood screws 8 mm nut driver head and a T-handled socket wrench for the concrete anchors. It looks like the 4X4s will be raised off the bottom of the post bases by the height of the bolt heads, which might put your measurements off a tad.All in all the product is slightly off the standard for pergola post bases in this distribution channel, so I feel I have to withhold a star. I might use them in the less critical parts of my planned solar panel structure, but I’ll leave them outside for a few months to test their corrosion resistance.
