FAQs

Does this support base come with the bolts for the concrete?

No, you will need to purchase concrete anchor bolts separately based on your specific floor material.

Can I use this for posts larger than 102mm?

No, this base is specifically engineered for 102mm round posts to ensure a secure, safe fit.

Is it suitable for salt-heavy coastal environments?

The 80-90 micron hot-galvanized finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for most outdoor environments including coastal areas.

Can the galvanized finish be painted?

Yes, it can be painted with suitable decorative coatings, provided you use a primer designed for galvanized surfaces.

What is the primary benefit of the external mounting holes?

External mounting holes provide better stability and structural integrity by increasing the footprint of the anchor points away from the central load.

Troubleshooting

Post feels wobbly after installation

Check that the anchor bolts in the concrete are fully tightened and ensure the timber post is correctly sized at 102mm.

Surface rust appearing on the base

Small surface oxidation is often just zinc salt; wipe down with a dry cloth and apply a touch-up galvanizing spray if the base metal is exposed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade hot-dip galvanized finish prevents long-term oxidation
  • Enhanced stability due to external mounting hole configuration
  • Specifically designed for standard 102mm round posts
  • Weatherproof design suitable for harsh garden environments

Cons

  • Concrete expansion bolts not included in the package
  • Requires precise measurement for hole drilling to ensure level post installation
  • Visible mounting flanges may require post-skirting for a seamless look

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your concrete surface is flat and level. Use an 102mm diameter round post that has been pressure-treated for exterior use. After positioning the base, use a spirit level to ensure the vertical axis is plumb before tightening the anchor bolts. For maintenance, periodically check that the bolt connections remain tight, as timber can shrink slightly during dry weather. While the galvanized coating is durable, you can clean it periodically with a mild detergent and water to remove debris. If you choose to paint the base, use a primer suitable for galvanized metal to ensure proper adhesion.
