Heavy Duty Steel Fence Base Flange Kit for 2 in Square Posts

Our review of this Heavy Duty Steel Fence Base Flange Kit finds it best suited for DIYers and contractors who need a compact, all-in-one solution to mount 2 in square posts to concrete. The kit's single biggest selling point is that it contains everything needed for a typical install - a heavy-duty steel base with a flange tube, interlocking cover, four anchor bolts and tapping screws, plus EVA paddings to close gaps - which makes the installation straightforward and reduces trips to the hardware store.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes one base with flange tube, one interlocking cover, four anchor bolts, four tapping screws and two EVA paddings so installers have all parts on hand.
• Right fit for 2 in posts: Designed to fit posts with 2 in outer dimensions and up to 11 GA (about 3 mm) thickness, ensuring a snug fit for common metal, wood or vinyl posts.
• Durable finish: Base and flange are heavy-duty steel with AAMA-2604 powder coating for enhanced outdoor corrosion resistance compared with lower grade coatings.
• Quality fasteners: Anchor bolts are SUS#304 stainless steel and tapping screws are galvanized, providing rust resistance where it matters most at the concrete connection.
• Neat appearance: The PA66 plus 30% fiberglass interlocking cover snaps on to hide fasteners and protect the post base while improving the look of the installation.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for homeowners doing fence or railing repairs, landscapers installing small perimeter fencing on concrete patios or decks, and metalworkers who need a reliable base flange without sourcing parts separately. The included EVA paddings make it handy when posts are slightly undersized and need a filler to remove wobble.

It is not for installers who require custom-dimensioned flanges or for posts larger than the specified 2 in outer dimension and thicker than 11 GA. Also, anyone who has had repeated wrong-size deliveries in other purchases should double-check post outer dimensions before ordering.
