## Questions & Answers

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

**Q: Can I use this at the top of a 4x4 to connect a 4x4 going across (making a letter T)?**
A: Actually Corran I think this would be a little too much overkill, as this bracket is super heavy-duty. Lowe's has a Simpson Strong-Tie item # 51759 that would work better.

**Q: height  from the base to top on the simpson strong tie fpbb44**
A: I measured the strong tie and from base to top it was 5 1/2 inches.

**Q: What is the. Height of the fpbb44 anchor**
A: I use a 1/2 inch by 6 inch hot dipped galvanized anchor bolt

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy them! Enough said!
*by B***M on July 31, 2018*

PROS: Simple but perfect. Prefer these over drilling a single hole, install a "J" bolt, fill cavity around bolt with cement, wait for it to dry, and then put on a flimsy post support that has a gap to tighten the nut on the bolt. Then, your post and all the weight of your project sits on what, a piece of 1/16th metal? This is solid! It has a small section on he inside of the base, for drainage, but I it is heavy duty.CONS: It is a snug fit. Pounding the heck out of them won't guaranty that the post gets to the bottom. And, if you attempt to shave them down just a little bit (especially when using pressure treated posts), once they dry, the will have a bit of wiggle room for your support.Overall: I love them. I used them to build a deck extension over a slab. That part of the deck is hold a hot tub, and some large friends.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ but they are well worth it as they make it easy to fasten a 4 x 4 post to concrete ...
*by D***R on July 24, 2016*

These are a bit costly, but they are well worth it as they make it easy to fasten a 4 x 4 post to concrete and they do it in a very secure manner. I used three of them to build a fence to hide my garbage cans behind and the end result was a very strong and sturdy fence that was firmly anchored to my concrete slab using Simpson Strong Tie STB2-50334 1/2-Inch by 3-3/4-Inch bolts. Don't forget to buy a good quality concrete drill bit as each of these requires 4 bolts and poor quality bits won't last. I used a DEWALT DW5437 1/2-Inch x 4-Inch x 6-Inch Rock Carbide SDS Plus Hammer Bit which easily drilled the 12 holes I needed for my project and I have no doubt it will last long enough to drill several more. If you are looking for an easy way to attach a 4 x 4 post to concrete this is what you are looking for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy, tight fit, did the job
*by J***Y on May 13, 2019*

I used these on a porch roof support, I used three 4x4 posts which was probably overkill but these worked great, they were a snug fit on my 4x4 posts which were from Lowe’s, I used a router and did a 45 degree chamfer on the corners of the post to give it a little better look, then I sanded the post evenly with 60 grit to aid in the install which still took so force. I butted the other end of the post against concrete wall, then used a small sacrificial piece of 4x4 to pound on the post base. They look great and are well made, possibly a little over priced but with everything made so cheap Ill pay for these all day long.
