FAQs

What size timber posts does this support fit?

This support is designed to fit standard timber posts approximately 100mm x 100mm.

Do I need to dig holes for this post support?

No, this is a bolt-down post support. It is designed to be fixed directly onto solid surfaces like concrete or patio slabs, eliminating the need for digging.

What fixings do I need to install it?

You will need appropriate anchor bolts or screws suitable for your specific surface (e.g., concrete screws for concrete, lag bolts for timber). These are not included with the product.

Can I use this on soft ground like soil?

This bolt-down type support is intended for solid, level surfaces. It is not suitable for direct installation into soft soil without first creating a concrete pad or similar stable base.

Is the black coating durable?

Yes, the black powder coating provides a durable, rust-resistant, and weatherproof finish designed for outdoor use.

How do I secure the timber post to the bracket?

Once the post is placed in the bracket, you should secure it by screwing through the pre-drilled holes on the sides of the bracket into the timber post using appropriate screws (not included).

What is the main benefit of using this type of post support?

The main benefits are fast, no-dig installation on solid surfaces, superior post stability, protection of timber posts from ground rot, and a cleaner aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Post feels wobbly after installation

Ensure the base plate is securely bolted to the surface. Check that the timber post is firmly secured within the bracket using screws or bolts on the sides.

Difficulty drilling into the surface

Use the correct type of drill bit for your surface material (e.g., masonry bit for concrete, wood bit for timber). Ensure your drill has sufficient power.

Bracket is not level

Remove the fixings and re-level the base plate on the surface. You may need to use shims to achieve a perfectly level installation.

Rust spots appearing on the finish

While powder coating is durable, minor abrasions can occur. Touch up small areas with a suitable exterior metal paint designed for galvanized steel to prevent further corrosion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides superior stability for outdoor structures.
  • Offers a clean, no-dig installation method on hard surfaces.
  • Protects timber posts from ground moisture and rot.

  • Enhances the aesthetic appeal of garden projects.

Cons

  • Fixings (anchor bolts/screws) are not included and must be purchased separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a level, solid surface such as concrete, patio slabs, or a robust timber deck.
  2. Position the post support where the timber post needs to be anchored.
  3. Mark the hole locations on the surface through the pre-drilled holes in the base plate.
  4. Using appropriate masonry drill bits or wood drill bits, drill holes for your chosen fixings.
  5. Insert suitable anchor bolts or screws (not included) into the drilled holes and securely fasten the post support to the surface.
  6. Place your 100mm x 100mm timber post into the bracket and secure it with appropriate screws or bolts through the side holes (not included).

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard timber posts measuring approximately 100mm x 100mm. Always verify post dimensions before purchase.
  • Requires a solid, load-bearing surface for bolt-down installation.

Care:

  • The black powder-coated finish is designed for weather resistance. Clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
  • Periodically check that all fixings remain tight, especially after periods of extreme weather.
