Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for fence posts on soil?

No, this product is designed specifically for bolting onto hard surfaces like concrete, stone, or timber decking.

Are the mounting bolts for the base included?

No, the fixings required to mount the base plate to the ground must be purchased separately.

Can I paint the holder a different color?

Yes, the brown coating provides a good base, and you can paint over it with exterior-grade metal paint to match your fence.

Is this suitable for 100mm x 100mm posts?

Yes, this holder is specifically engineered for 100mm posts.

What is the distance between the base bolt holes?

The distance between the bolt hole centers is 135mm.

Does this prevent the post from rotting?

Yes, by elevating the post above the ground, it significantly reduces the amount of moisture the timber absorbs from the floor.

Troubleshooting

Post feels loose in the holder

Ensure the post is exactly 100mm; if it is undersized, use thin shims to fill the gap before tightening the twin bolts.

Base plate does not sit flush on concrete

Check for debris under the plate or use a grinder to smooth down high spots on the concrete surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for digging holes or mixing concrete
  • Protects wooden posts from ground moisture and rot
  • Easy to remove or replace posts without damaging the surface
  • Suitable for a variety of outdoor structures like pergolas and decking
  • Professional-grade brown finish matches standard timber

Cons

  • Fixings for securing the base plate to the ground are not included
  • Only compatible with 100mm posts
  • Requires a solid, level surface for installation
  • Not suitable for soft ground or soil

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your surface is flat and level; uneven concrete can place unnecessary stress on the base plate. You will need to source appropriate anchor bolts based on your specific ground material (e.g., masonry bolts for concrete).

  1. Measure and mark the hole locations using the base plate as a template.
  2. Drill the appropriate pilot holes into your concrete or timber.
  3. Secure the base plate using heavy-duty bolts.
  4. Slide the 100mm post into the support and tighten the side bolts until the post is held firmly.

For care, periodically check the twin bolts for tightness, especially after periods of high wind. The brown coating is weather-resistant, but should you notice any chips, touching it up with metal-safe exterior paint will help maintain its anti-corrosion properties.
