relies on being deeply embedded in a solid concrete footing. The concrete must be poured level with the exterior embedment line for maximum lateral stability.
(Moment Post Base), a high-strength structural connector used to secure 6x6 timber posts without the need for knee bracing. Strategic Installation: The "Deep" Foundation MOGI-066-MR.mp4
: Unlike standard post bases, a moment-resistant base like the relies on being deeply embedded in a solid concrete footing
: Before the concrete cures, use a string line to ensure all posts are perfectly aligned and at the uniform height required for your structure. Load Distribution : The This makes it ideal for freestanding outdoor structures
: Once the concrete is set, the post is placed into the base and secured using SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws through all pre-drilled round holes to ensure the connection reaches its rated strength. Pre-Assembled Gate (6’x4’) Installation Guide
is designed to encapsulate the post with an overlapping sleeve, which significantly resists rotation (moment resistance). This makes it ideal for freestanding outdoor structures like where traditional bracing might be visually intrusive.
To create a "deep" and structurally sound post installation using this specific hardware, focus on these critical phases:
