Log & Timber Post Supports
-
Elevate your round log post or square timbers to prolong the life of the post.
-
These supports will keep your log post and square timbers high and dry.
-
For even more protection: stain the bottom of the post and use Cobra Rods.
-
Rods, epoxy, posts, and concrete are not included with the sale, only the square stand-off base. Find posts at LogHomeMart.com or by calling us at 1-800-426-1002. Find rods, concrete, and epoxy at your local home improvement store.

Post:
-
Drill a 3/4" diameter hole, 10" into the center of the post.
-
Clean out dust. Fill the hole halfway with epoxy adhesive.
-
Insert all-thread rod and allow the epoxy to set and cure.
-
Secure base to post using four 10d nails.
Concrete:
-
Drill a 3/4" diameter hole per anchor.
-
Clean out dust. Fill hole halfway with epoxy adhesive. Insert post subassembly into the hole and allow the epoxy to set and cure.
-
Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).
