Speed up line-post work with the OZ-Post HB-700, a drivable steel anchor engineered for 1-7/8″ O.D. round pipe. Instead of digging holes and mixing concrete, drive the anchor until the sleeve is at grade, insert your post, then set the compression collar to clamp the post square. The HB-700’s galvanized body transfers load into the soil while elevating the post base above wet ground—helping reduce corrosion over time. Installers choose HB-700 when 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
- Built to last — 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 HB-700 to grade (jackhammer + OH-02 driver recommended for speed and consistency; use HSP-HB spacer to center the bit). Insert the 1-7/8″ pipe fully, verify plumb, then drive the compression collar (CDT-07 tool recommended) until it locks over the sleeve. 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 1-5/8″ line posts, see GB-700. For 2-3/8″ terminals/corners, pick deeper ISW-850 (34″) for embedment.
- Tools that help: Add the OH-02 driver bit for installs and the CDT-07 cap driving tool to seat collars quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need concrete?
- No. HB-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 1-7/8″ O.D. round pipe used for many line posts.
- Is the compression collar included?
- Yes. Each HB-700 includes the collar used to clamp the post at grade.
- Which driver should I use?
- A jackhammer with the OH-02 driver bit is recommended for long runs; a sledge can work for a few posts.
- Can it be driven through asphalt?
- Often yes. Many installs can be driven through asphalt and compacted soils; very rocky sites may require pre-drilling or a different footing.
Comparison
| Option | Strengths | Considerations | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| HB-700 (27″, 1-7/8″) — this item | Fast installs for chain link line posts; compression-collar lock; no concrete | Shallower than 34″ terminal anchors | Residential lines, temp fencing, small signs |
| GB-700 (27″, 1-5/8″) | Sized for smaller line posts; similar install workflow | Not for 1-7/8″ pipe | 1-5/8″ lines or light rails |
| ISW-850 (34″, 2-3/8″) | Deeper embedment and larger post size for terminals/corners | Heavier; different pipe size | Privacy fences, wind-exposed sites |
