• Fast, Clean Installs — Drive to grade, drop in pipe, and set the compression cap to lock the post
• Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel — Heavy steel, zinc-coated for long outdoor service and ACQ compatibility

• Chain Link Ready — Sized for common residential line posts; great for temporary panels and small sign posts, too

Speed up line-post work with the OZ-Post GB-700, a drivable steel anchor engineered for 1-5/8″ O.D. round pipe. Instead of digging holes and mixing concrete, drive the anchor until the sleeve is at grade, insert your post, and set the compression cap for a snug, square fit. The GB-700’s galvanized body transfers load into the soil while elevating the post base above saturated ground to help reduce corrosion over time. Installers choose GB-700 for residential chain link lines, repairs, temporary fencing, and sign posts where speed, consistency, and a clean jobsite matter.

Why Choose This

• Concrete-free workflow — Set posts and stretch fabric the same day
• Cleaner jobsites — Minimal disturbance; often workable through compacted soils and even asphalt
• Durable build — Hot-dip galvanizing and an elevated post base help mitigate moisture-related issues

Installation

Lay out post centers and call 811 to locate utilities. Keep the anchor plumb as you drive the GB-700 to grade (jackhammer + OH-02 driver recommended for speed and consistency). Insert the 1-5/8″ pipe fully, verify plumb, then set the compression cap until the post is clamped snugly. In rocky soils or over bedrock, pre-drilling may be required; through asphalt is often feasible. Always follow local code for fence height, spacing, and wind exposure.

Buying Guide

• Choosing size: For 1-7/8″ line posts, see HB-700 (1-7/8″). For 2-3/8″ terminals/corners, consider IS-600 (24″) in hard soils or ISW-850 (34″) for deeper embedment.
• Cap setting: A cap-driving tool speeds consistent compression-cap installs across long runs; hand hammering is fine for small jobs.
• Soils & surfaces: Works in many compacted soils and can often be driven through asphalt; solid rock may need pre-drill or alternate footing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need concrete?

No. GB-700 is a drive-in system designed to eliminate digging and concrete in qualifying applications.

Will it fit my chain link line posts?

Yes. It’s sized for standard 1-5/8″ O.D. round pipe used for many line posts.

Is the compression cap included?

Yes. The GB-700 includes the cap used to clamp the post at grade.

Which driver should I use?

Use the OH-02 driver with a jackhammer for long runs. A sledge works for a few posts.

Can I use the MDK-13 manual driver kit?

No. GB-700 is not compatible with the MDK-13 due to sleeve size; no spacer is required.
