Simpson Strong-Tie E-Z Mender

Make post repair and reinforcement easy and economical. Secure the E-Z Spike 29 inches deep. Drive spike base into the ground using a short block. For best results, turn the block every few strikes. Take care to install spike base plumb. Attach post to spike base using four ¼” x 1 ½” Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws or four #10 x 1 ½” Strong-Drive SD Connector screws. Drive the E-Z Mender 11 inches down. Remove dirt and debris. Drive mender plate down along the post between the post and the dirt. Repeat on the opposite side. Attach to post using six #9 x 1 ½” or six #10 x 1 ½” Strong-Drive SD Connector screw. Fill the hole around the post with concrete.
