This post is the industry standard. If you're ordering a black post, you must choose the Black ABS Scuff Proof base cover option. The Black ABS Scuff Proof base cover is available for all other finishes to reduce cost. This post is designed for indoor use. If you will be using posts outdoors, we highly recommend our Outdoor Utility Post. That post is manufactured from aluminum or stainless steel to be rust resistant but is available in limited finishes. For more finish options and for light outdoor use, we are able to improve the durability of the baseweight with an additional coating of rust resistant paint for an additional charge. Specify in Comments for weather protected baseweight.
