Abstract: A post stand includes a base plate having generally aligned first and second side supports extending upwardly therefrom. A plurality of anchors extend downwardly from the base plate. The post stand is installed in a hardened concrete slab or masonry by creating marks corresponding to the desired location of the anchors, drilling holes into the hardened concrete slab or masonry, partially filling the holes with an epoxy or quick setting cement mixture, and inserting the anchors of the post stand into the holes.
