FAQs

What is the maximum load capacity of this post support?

The product information does not specify a maximum load capacity. Consult a structural engineer for load-bearing calculations based on your specific project and post size.

What is the total height adjustment range?

The total adjustment range is 40 mm to 500 mm.

What material is the post support made of?

It is made of steel with a hot-dip galvanization for weather protection.

What size fasteners should I use for mounting the base plate?

The base plate has 4 holes with a diameter of 14 mm. You should use fasteners appropriate for your foundation type that fit through these holes.

Can this post support be used for internal projects?

While primarily designed for outdoor use due to its weather-resistant finish, it can be used indoors if its aesthetic and adjustment features are desired. Ensure it is installed on a suitable surface.

How much of the threaded rod needs to be engaged for stability?

Approximately 10 - 20% of the adjustment range is required as thread security for optimal stability.

What are the dimensions of the support plate?

The support plate measures 100 x 100 mm with a material thickness of 8 mm.

Troubleshooting

Post support is wobbly after installation.

Ensure the base plate is securely fastened to the foundation. Check that the locking nut is tightened and that sufficient thread engagement (10-20% of adjustment range) is being used for stability.

Height adjustment is difficult or stuck.

Check for any debris or obstructions around the threaded rod and locking nut. Ensure the post is properly seated and not binding against the support plate. Lubricate the threads if necessary.

Base plate fasteners are not holding.

Verify that the foundation material is sound and suitable for anchoring. Use appropriate anchors for concrete or wood. Ensure fasteners are tightened securely.

Support plate seems too small for the post.

This support is designed for specific post sizes. Ensure your post fits within the 100x100mm support plate dimensions or consider using additional bracing for wider posts if structurally appropriate.

  • Durable hot-dip galvanized steel construction for weather resistance.
  • Suitable for various foundation types (concrete, wood).

  • Requires careful installation to ensure proper function of the adjustment mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired post height and position.
  2. Secure the base plate to a level surface (concrete or wood) using 13 mm diameter holes and appropriate fasteners (screws or bolt anchors).
  3. Slide the post into the support plate.
  4. Use the locking nut and threaded rod to adjust the post height. Screw the threaded rod in or out to achieve the final desired height. Ensure at least 10-20% of the adjustment range is used for thread security.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with posts that can be secured to the 100 x 100 mm support plate.
  • Suitable for mounting on concrete or wooden foundations.
  • Requires appropriate M30 threaded fasteners or anchors for securing the base plate.
