Heavy Duty Face Mount Post Base Brackets

Maximum Deck Space. Extreme Stability. Engineered for a Perfect Fit.

Stop sacrificing your deck space to bulky, centered posts. Our Face Mount Post Base Brackets are engineered for homeowners and pros who want a sleek, "over-built" look without compromising on safety or usable square footage. By mounting to the side of your rim joist or ledger board, these brackets allow your fence to sit at the very edge of your deck.

The Perfect Fit: Nominal & True Sizing

We know that a 4x4 isn't always 3.5 inches. To ensure your project looks flawless and stays structurally sound, we offer both Nominal (standard lumberyard) and True (rough-cut or full-dimension) sizing. No more shimming or forcing a fit—just select the size that matches your actual wood dimensions.

Why Choose Madison Iron and Wood Brackets?

  • Engineered for Code Compliance: Designed with a lower profile on the sides, allowing your fence panels to sit just 3" above the surface to meet strict 4" code requirements.

  • Extreme Stability: High front and rear supports provide maximum lateral stability where your fence needs it most.

  • The "Over-Built" Advantage: While others use thin stamped metal, we use 1/4" American-made steel. These are industrial-grade structural supports that provide a premium, heavy-duty finished look.

  • Two-Face Security: The additional wrap-around leg provides two surfaces of contact on your ledger board, offering extreme strength even with limited mounting surface on top.

Panel Sizing

Panel Sizing

Fence Panels

We offer multiple length panels, but they are all 30 inches tall. We do this because the standard fence/railing is about 36" tall. These panels are made to be installed with a beam on top and bottom, so we decided to give 6" of clearance so the fence/railing could still be the standard 36" with our panels installed.

Stair Railings

Our stair railing panels follow standard sizing practices. The most common incline is 37 degrees, and the most common handrail is around 34 inches tall. We understand that not all staircases are built the same. If you need a different incline or hand rail height, please contact us for a quote!

Panel Materials

Panel Materials

Metal Option-

We use 12-gauge steel for our metal panels. This is about the thickness of a nickel and is super sturdy. We decided to make these thicker than other companies because they hold up longer and are very hard to bend, unlike other panels on the market. There are definitely cheaper options out there, but their quality will be much less than ours and will likely need to be replaced in a very short time.

Plastic Option-

Our plastic panels are made of 1/2" thick HDPE plastic. This plastic is commonly used for outdoor uses because of its anti-stick capabilities. We highly recommend if you are in a coastal area to use the plastic option. *Warning before ordering! These are only available in white, and paint does not adhere*
