Need a supplier referral - cast aluminum bases

[letterman7]

And finials for aluminum posts. Sounds easy.. I just got in a large order from Ornamental Post and Panel for bases to fit 4", 5" and 6" square tube poles that I have for upcoming jobs. Case finials to match... I am not impressed. Their bases are simply cast bottoms and tops welded to a larger square tube - not at all cast as one piece as I was led to believe. The welds are atrocious, the quality of the ball finials is on par with an old cannon ball.

My normal go to's - Metalcraft, Hook and Lattice - don't offer square tube bases in any style but one, and only for a very limited size range. I don't do a lot of oversize posts, but it would be nice to have a selection of bases and finials to quote. Anyone have an idea for a supplier for this kind of stuff? A quick Google search didn't come up with much.

Thanks visual... but please read the text. All those you posted are for round poles, not square.

I use these guys out of Florida, they have great products and the price is lower to sign shops. They sell for square posts and round.

Not sure but they are great.

Nope, it's the same Metalcraft I've used in the past, their selection/style of square covers is pretty limited, so I'm trying to search other options.. and not coming up with much!

Thanks, guys!

Would you keep going to a restaurant that only had two choices of meat, Tammie?
