- No-Dig Anchor for Ornamental Posts — Drives in to set 2″ × 2″ square steel/aluminum fence posts without concrete

- Fast, Predictable Install — Use a jackhammer driver kit or manual driver; set posts and build immediately

The OZ-Post I2-600 is a 24″ drive-in ground anchor engineered for 2″ × 2″ square ornamental posts. Drive the anchor until only a small portion of the sleeve is above grade, then slide in the post and fasten through the pre-drilled sleeve for a neat, durable installation—no excavation or cure time required. For taller posts or heavier loads, see the deeper 34″ I2-850 alternative.
Why Choose This
- Clean appearance — Black sleeve blends with most ornamental systems
- Durability — Hot-dip galvanizing resists corrosion; rugged 3 mm steel construction
- Speed — Set multiple posts quickly with jackhammer driver kits; build the same day

Buying Guide
- Post height & loads: For typical ornamental panels and gates on shorter posts, I2-600 is a great fit. For taller posts or higher wind/traffic loads, consider the 34″ I2-850.
- Tools: Small runs can be installed with a manual driver; larger jobs go fastest with a jackhammer driver kit.
- Finish match: Black sleeve complements most black ornamental systems without touch-up.
Frequently Asked Questions

- Yes. It is designed for standard 2″ × 2″ square ornamental posts in steel or aluminum.
- What hardware is included?
- Attachment screws for securing the post to the sleeve are included.
- How much of the sleeve should show above grade?
- Drive nearly flush, leaving about 3/4″ exposed to access the attachment hardware.
