Abstract
A vinyl fence post mount includes a base, a first support member and a second support member. The first support member is bent along a length thereof to form two first legs which are at an obtuse angle to each other. The second support member is bent along a length thereof to form two second legs which are at an obtuse angle to each other. The lengthwise edges of each leg are preferably bent toward each other. A first bent edge of the first support member is attached to a second bent edge of the second support member. The bottom ends of the support members are attached to the base. At least two mounting holes are formed outside the cross sectional perimeter of the support members. Preferably, each mounting hole is formed substantially in-line with a leg of one of the support members. In a second embodiment, the legs of each support member are bent substantially perpendicular to each other and the lengthwise edges of each leg are not bent. In a third embodiment, a straight first and second support member are used.
