This guide is for DIYers and professional installers seeking a durable solution for securing wire mesh fencing. The SecureFix Direct Galvanised Double Fencing Hooks offer a robust and weather-resistant method to support fencing on intermediate posts, ensuring long-term stability. A potential caveat is the specific requirement for 4" posts, limiting their direct application on other post sizes without adaptation.

These hooks are specifically designed for intermediate posts with a diameter of approximately 4 inches (100mm).
They are designed to support wire mesh fencing.
It is highly recommended to drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the thread diameter for easier installation and to prevent wood splitting, especially in harder woods.
No, these hooks are designed for use in wooden posts.
Spacing depends on the type of wire mesh and the required tension. Consult your fencing material's guidelines, but a common spacing for intermediate posts is typically between 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters).
The collar helps to prevent the hook from being driven too far into the post and provides a stable base for the hook's shaft.
The galvanised surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the protective coating.
Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the hook's thread diameter. Ensure the post is not excessively hardened or brittle. Use a steady, rotational force.
Adjust the hook's position or angle. Ensure the mesh is properly tensioned before securing it to the hook. Consider using additional ties to fasten the mesh to the hook.
While galvanised steel is highly resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or constant abrasion in specific environments might affect the coating. Minor surface rust can often be wiped away. For significant rust, the hook may need replacement to maintain structural integrity.
