FAQs
What size post does this holder accommodate?
These supports are designed for 6-inch (approximately 150mm) wide fence posts. Please measure your post to ensure compatibility.
Do I need to concrete these supports in?
No, these are 'bolt down' supports. They are designed to be bolted directly onto a solid, pre-existing surface like concrete, tarmac, or decking. No concrete mixing is required.
What type of screws or bolts should I use to attach the base?
The product does not include base fixings. You will need to use appropriate screws or bolts suitable for your specific surface (e.g., masonry bolts for concrete, lag screws for wood decking).
How many supports are included in a pack?
Each pack contains four (4) bolt-down fence post supports.
Will this prevent my posts from rotting?
Yes, by keeping the base of the post elevated off the ground, it significantly reduces moisture absorption and contact with soil, which are primary causes of rot and decay.
Can these be used on uneven ground?
These supports require a level, solid surface for secure bolting. They are not designed for installation directly into soft or uneven ground without a prepared base.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's specific warranty information for details regarding this product.
Troubleshooting
Post feels wobbly after installation.
Ensure all clamp bolts securing the post are tightened firmly. Check that the base of the support is securely bolted to the ground. Consider using the additional fixing holes for extra support.
Difficulty inserting the post.
Verify that the post is the correct width for the 6" holder. Ensure there are no obstructions inside the holder. Loosen the clamp bolts completely before inserting the post.
Support base is not level.
Ensure the surface you are bolting the support to is perfectly level. Use shims if necessary to achieve a level base before final tightening.
Visible signs of rust appearing.
While galvanised, extreme prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or constant abrasion can affect the coating. Ensure no such conditions are present. Minor rust spots can often be treated with appropriate metal paint if desired, but it does not typically affect structural integrity.
