Laredo Sunset Post Base Single Rail Saddles from OZCO OWT Hardware

Product Description

Laredo Sunset® Post Base Single Rail Saddles by OZCO® OWT — Connect One 2×4 Rail to 4×4 or 6×6 Posts

• One Rail, Clean Finish — Integrated post base with a single 2×4 rail saddle for tidy, repeatable rail connections
• Purpose-Built for Ends/Transitions — Ideal on end posts, stair starts/landings, and locations where only one rail meets the post
• Scalable Layouts — For an in-line (two-opposed rails) or 90° corner at one post, use two Single Rail Saddles or step up to the Twin Rail Saddle model
• Field-Friendly Fastening — Hex Cap Nuts drive with a 3/8″ socket; rail screws use a T25 Torx bit
• Outdoor-Ready — Heavy-gauge, pre-galvanized steel with a black exterior powder coat; approved for ACQ-treated lumber
• Laredo Sunset Aesthetic — Decorative hardware and geometry match the Laredo Sunset OWT line for a cohesive look

Build better-looking guard and rail sections with the Laredo Sunset Post Base Single Rail Saddle. Each assembly anchors your 4×4 or 6×6 post and captures one nominal 2×4 rail at the correct height—perfect for ends, transitions, and stair runs. Need two rails at one post (straight-through or at a corner)? Install two Single Rail Saddles on the appropriate faces or choose the Post Base Twin Rail Saddle to handle both rails with one base. Pre-engineered plates, included fasteners, and consistent driver sizes streamline production while the Laredo Sunset style keeps visible hardware looking intentional.

Why Choose This

• Speed & consistency — Pre-set geometry reduces layout time and driver swaps
• Durability — Galvanized substrate plus powder coat stand up to weather
• System look — Coordinates with Laredo Sunset posts, post-to-beam brackets, and accents

Specifications

Installation

Set and plumb the post, then anchor the post base to your surface per plan. Install the single rail saddle, seat the 2×4 rail, and drive the included fasteners — use a 3/8″ hex driver for Hex Cap Nuts/Timber Screws and a T25 bit for the #12 rail screws. Always fasten into sound lumber and follow local code for guard height, spacing, and loads.

Buying Guide

• Choose your post size: Select 56631 for 4×4 posts or 56671 for 6×6 posts.

• Coordinate components: Pair with Laredo Sunset Post-to-Beam Brackets and keep OWT 1/4″ Timber Screws on hand for adjacent connections.
