E-Z Spike™ (FPBS44) To install the E-Z Spike, drive the spike 29" into the ground for full penetration using a short block. Take care to install the spike base plumb. Attach the post to the spike base using double-barrier coat or hotdip galvanized SDS screws, lag screws or bolts.		E-Z Base™ (FPBB44) Attach the E-Z Base to the existing concrete using suitable anchors. See Simpson's Anchoring and Fastening Systems catalog or www.simpsonanchors.com for anchoring options. Fasten the post to the base using doublebarrier coat or hot-dip galvanized SDS screws or lag screws (screws and anchors not supplied).


E-Z Mender™ (FPBM44) Remove dirt or debris from around the existing post. Drive the mender plate down along the post between the post and the dirt or concrete, ensuring that the plates are driven 11" into the ground for full penetration. Repeat on opposite side of the post. Fasten to the post using double-barrier coat or hot-dip galvanized fasteners (screws or nails). Fill the hole around the post with concrete.
