4" x 4" Heavy Duty Square Flat Steel Metal Base Plate With Holes
This 4" x 4" heavy-duty square steel base plate provides a solid, reliable foundation for mounting posts, columns, and equipment. Pre-drilled with anchor holes for secure installation, it is an essential component for construction, fencing, and industrial fabrication projects requiring stable structural support.
- Industrial-Grade Structural Steel
- 4" x 4" Square Profile
- Pre-Drilled Anchor Holes
- Structural Support & Mounting
Our 4" x 4" base plates are manufactured from high-quality, low-carbon structural steel, known for its excellent weldability, strength, and durability. This material provides the necessary rigidity to distribute loads effectively from a post or column to a concrete foundation. The flat, square profile ensures a stable mounting surface, while the pre-drilled holes are positioned for standard anchoring hardware, simplifying the installation process. This makes it an ideal choice for both new construction and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) projects requiring a dependable hardware solution.
Engineered for versatility, this heavy-duty base plate is a critical component in a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in commercial and residential construction for securing fence posts, railing supports, and structural columns. In industrial settings, it serves as a secure mounting flange for machinery, equipment, and support frames. Fabricators in the Los Angeles area rely on these industrial-grade base plates for creating custom structures, from ornamental ironwork to heavy-duty industrial assemblies. Its robust design ensures long-lasting performance in demanding environments.

Target Users
Used by general contractors, metal fabricators, welders, and maintenance professionals for projects requiring a secure and durable anchoring point. This commercial base plate is essential for anyone building structures that need a solid connection to a foundation.
Finish Options
This product is typically supplied with a raw, uncoated mill finish, which is ideal for welding. For corrosion protection, the plate can be primed and painted with industrial coatings, such as DTM paints, or hot-dip galvanized for maximum outdoor durability. Bobco offers a full line of industrial paints and primers suitable for this application.
How to Measure
To specify the correct base plate, confirm the Length (L) and Width (W) of the square, the required Plate Thickness (T), and the diameter and pattern of the pre-drilled holes. Ensure the plate dimensions provide adequate support for the post or column it will be anchoring.
Example: 4" x 4" x 1/4" Thick Square Base Plate with four 5/8" diameter holes.
