A: Hello, the easiest way to keep the pipe in the fitting is to drill a hole and use a screw. This allows for it to be dismantled at a later date if needed.

A: Hello, we ship these out with a couple of self drilling screws. If you run one through the stem into the pipe it will keep everything in place.

A: Hello, I've never tried this but the base of these is very sturdy and the holes are big enough to run a larger nail like you are describing through them. As long as the nails hold, it should work just fine.

The length of the screw will depend on the material and thickness of the base. We recommend using 3/4” wood. Make sure you are using wood screws. The mounting holes on the steel prop foot pads tend to be a bit large so you my need to use washers on the heads of your screws that are larger than the holes.

A: Hello, the short answer is yes. the Prop foot pad is basically used as a foot base allowing the pipe to slide into it, The pipe socket is about 5 inches deep and provides extra support for taller or heavier props.

Hello, the holes in the pads themselves are about 5/16". We actually provide (3) #10 x 1 inch washers with each pad. This makes it much easier to use any sort of wood construction type screw you desire. Hole in the washer is #10 screw size.
