Enhance the look of your posts with the Laredo Sunset Faux Post Bases from OZCO OWT Hardware. These decorative bases offer the stylish appearance of anchored post bases without the need for actual anchoring. Perfect for existing posts that are already anchored in place, whether they’re treated wood, cedar, or other materials, these faux bases add a distinctive southwestern charm to any project. The Laredo Sunset style features elegant curves and a warm, inviting aesthetic, setting it apart from the more angular Ironwood design.

The hot-dip galvanized steel is powder-coated with a premium finish that ensures superior corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, these bases are designed to be showcased rather than concealed, making them a beautiful addition to any decor.

Specifications

Why Choose This

• Finishing touch — Dresses exposed post bases to match the Laredo Sunset style used elsewhere on the project.
• Fast facelift — Adds a clean architectural look without altering the structural post/base connection.
• Coordinates easily — Pairs with OWT-Lite Laredo Sunset Post Bases and Outside 90° Connectors for a consistent look.

Installation (Quick Steps)

• Dry fit the faux plates around the post base to confirm size and clearance.
• Fasten per OZCO guide; align seams to face the least-visible side.
• Check reveal and spacing to ensure even coverage around anchors.

Buying Guide

• Purpose — Faux plates are cosmetic; use structural post bases when anchoring to deck/slab.
• Size selection — Match the faux plate size to your post’s actual dimension (e.g., 5.5″ for nominal 6×6).
• Finish matching — Combine with Laredo Sunset brackets on corners and beams for uniform style.
