Hi Aggravated Customer, this Colin from Simpson Strong-Tie. Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to see your experience with our adjustable post bases did not meet your expectations. We offer several options for anchorage for these bases. Anchorage is determined by the designer, so that is why the product does not also come with the anchor bolt. To see how we can best resolve this issue, please reach out to our Customer Service team by calling 800-999-5099. Thank you.
