    BASE FOR RDI STRUCTURAL PORCH POST

    Posted by Henry on Aug 6 2022

    I purchased the base to mount a turned 5" post on the porch. The installation was easy as the inside support post and the outer sleeve fitted securely to the molded base after raising the porch roof about two inches using a car jack and beam. The whole process of removing the old post and installing the new post with the mounting base took about 45 minutes per post. I feel that the posts are fastened well to the porch deck and roof and highly recommend this product.

    The one thing that I was confused about is the use of a supplied plastic plate to be used only if attaching the mount to a wood deck that has been treated. Even though I did not have to use it I could not find a combination of mounting holes punched through it to align with the post mount it came with.

    Gave it a 4 because the plastic gasket holes did not match the holes on the metal base. I had to drill new holes.

    Overly expensive, but it does the job very well. My shipment included two sets of everything. Is this normal?
