## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the diameter of the base?**
A: about 6".  The base isn't square, so I can't get an exact measurement.  We are using them on our Main Street, so we had them powder coated and a fabricator welded wider ears and a support to ours so they can be used as actual posts.  They are very impressive and we have had a very favorable response to them

**Q: How tall is the hitching post?**
A: The hitching post is 42 inches tall. It arrived in perfect condition and is exactly as shown in the picture. I am very satisfied with it.

**Q: I need  one for hitching a horse, not decorative. Is this suitable? How is it to be installed?**
A: Hello Sarah,I really like the appearance of the hitching posts  and have received many complements. That said, I would not use these to hitch  a horse to because they are too lightly made. I have been around a lot of horses in the past and have seen how powerful they can be and would only recommend these as a decoration

**Q: Will this fit over a 2 3/8" diameter pipe?  It is left over from an old chain link fence and I would like to install this post over it.  Thanks!**
A: My husband used a 4" x 4" post but he had to shave it a bit to fit, so I would think it would work.

    Love this Hitching Post - Instant Historical Charm
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2023*

What’s not to love with this beautiful well made hitching post - I live in a historic house and it adds so much charm to my civil war iron fence and mailbox - everyone has been asking me about it

    Adds a memorable impression to whoever sees it
  

*by P***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2020*

This is a nicely molded piece out of Aluminum. It is so beautiful that you would want it to last therefore it makes it even more special that it’s light and almost oxidation proof (as long as its kept off of salt). I made a steel stand for it by having a 1.25” pipe welded on a 6” square plate and then lowered the statue on the pipe (the statue is hollow). It now stands firmly where I want it. This way it is still portable and can be maintained easily.

    WOW...just what I wanted!!!
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2013*

Just received as I was looking for a horse post for awhile now.  This is a real quality item...my neighbor has a steel post with a horse head and no detail on the post.  The horse head looks great and the post looks fantastic.  It comes in a great black matte finish that I think already looks great.I did read a lot of reviews before making the purchase...this is aluminum but you wouldn't know it.  It is heavy enough o stand up but not heavy enough to trust leaving it along.  I bought a 5' T-post and  put the post over it...really secure and I have the flexibility to move it where I want to.Again....really nice item and glad I purchased.  Can't see where someone would be disappointed once you see this.
