FAQs

What size timber post does this support fit?

This Fencemate Swift Clamp Post Support is designed specifically for 75mm x 75mm timber posts.

Are the wall mounting screws included?

No, the fixings required for mounting the support to the wall are not included. You will need to provide appropriate masonry screws or anchors suitable for your wall type.

What is the maximum height of a structure this can support?

It is recommended for supporting timber structures up to a maximum height of 1.2 meters.

Can I use this on a wooden fence post instead of a wall?

No, this product is designed exclusively for mounting timber posts to the top of concrete or brick walls.

What material is the support made from?

The support is manufactured from steel with a galvanised finish for durability and weather resistance.

How do I clean the post support?

You can clean the support with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the galvanised coating.

Is this suitable for heavy-duty fencing?

This support is intended for light outdoor timber structures like garden fencing or trellis. It is not designed for heavy-duty applications or structures exposed to high winds.

Troubleshooting

Post feels loose after tightening clamp bolts

Ensure the post is fully seated within the clamp. If the post is slightly undersized or worn, consider adding thin shims (e.g., wood scraps) before tightening the bolts. Check that the clamp bolts are tightened evenly.

Support is wobbly on the wall

This indicates an issue with the wall fixings. Re-check the suitability and security of the wall fixings used. Ensure they are appropriate for the wall material and have been installed correctly. The wall itself may not be structurally sound enough for the load.

Visible rust spots on the support

Minor surface rust can occur on galvanized items over time. For aesthetic purposes, you can clean the area and apply a suitable metal paint designed for galvanized surfaces. Check that the underlying structure remains sound.
