I was searching for bases that will be used to anchor 4-ft x 4"x4" posts to concrete, and I saw this 12-gauge base for $18. I was also looking at these bases, but they seem a little flimsy.
I'm thinking that, in our case, it would be better to use heavy-duty brackets and anchor screws. Are there 4"x4" U-brackets?
How can I use brackets to reproduce these bases? The one I'd like to reproduce is this one because it's less visible. I was thinking of 4 2" "L" brackets, but I can't find them online. Something like this:

If you’re looking to build your own base, you could copy one of these.
If it’s a retrofit installation, you could use Simpson RPBZ. And if it needs to stand off concrete, add CPS.
If you don’t like the looks of the metal side plates, you can use Simpson CPTZ.
For maximum resistance against rotation, you can use Simpson MPBZ.
