A new library of entertaining How-To tutorials found at www.BuildingBreakthroughs.com, that not only show what's in the box for every product kit, but also just how easy it is to install.
Strange that there is no demo of turning these into corners. Lots of talking, image of angles but nothing helpful. Couldn’t find a video on the website either. Frustrating to talk about it being easier ‘super handy bendable tabs’. Not without some serious tools!! Which tools? It’s a mystery.
Been looking at doing the chain-link fence to privacy fence conversion. Been watching several different videos. The ozko brackets were mentioned in several of them. Definitely interested in the ones for the corner posts. Now if you guys can figure something out for doing single and double gates. Lol
I am having a heck of a time getting my 4 x 4 posts to fit all the way down to the six inches that is available to fit the post. The anchor IS 4 x 4 and of course, the post is 3 and a half x 3 and a half inches. Still able to get post to go down only 2 inches into the anchor no matter how hard I strike the top of it. Any suggestions??? I notice that there are indentations inside the anchor where the screw holes are. I'm frustrated!!!!
Bad, when rain comes and loosens soil and shift. You can drive a post in to hold a tent, it's strong, but tap tap and it comes out, that easy. used these, never again, stick with other methods
Great idea but I think for that price your better off just using a gas powered auger for a whole fence and a drain spade or post hole digger for a small project. Maybe a pickaxe if there’s rocks in the topsoil.
These products are well designed, aesthetically pleasing and believe the hardware, if cared for, will outlast the wood....! If there is one thing I have learned after 40 years of DIY projects, along with being a self taught hobbyist woodworker and 19th century blacksmith, is this; whenever you introduce a third party hardware device in a timber frame project, you just created a failure point. Wood works, expanding and contracting over time, eventually the wood will shrink away from the hardware and the joint will become loose, creating the failure point. In all of my projects I attempt to design and build to last for 100 years, Mother Nature plays a critical role and wins many times. The best timber framing joinery practices are those that have been time tested over centuries and continue to be, in my opinion, the best practice. Again, my comments should be viewed as a sharing of experience and not a judgement of this hardware to be used or not used in your projects.
While these kits may be durable and look nice, all of the hardware IS NOT included!!! We bought 4 kits and included, and written on the box, is only enough hardware to attach one coupler, (comes with 2 in each box). So, what good is having a kit that has two couplers but you can only attach one????
Looks like a great idea for a small project...BUT at $28 to $39 "EACH"...its just not cost feasible when you doing a yard that takes 30, 40 or more Fence posts when compared to a $3 dollar bag of ready to mix cement and a strong back! Guess it depends on whether you'd rather swing a sledge hammer or use old fashioned post hole diggers. I'm NOT bashing your product...its just something out of my pay grade to afford for "my" yard..
Ozco: Just bought one of your post bases, which fastener should I use to anchor the post base to my wooden deck, a J bolt, sleeve anchor or tapcon screw?
Can you say cheesy monologue? 😑 looks easy enough but I’m worried about twisting and leaning when diving into ground. Another issue is rocky soil.... jumping sing and not staying online 🤔🤷♂️
