Product Information

Full details

This Heavy Duty Black Powder Coated Elevator Bolt Down Pergola Post Support is for DIY enthusiasts and professionals building or reinforcing outdoor timber structures like pergolas and gazebos. Its key benefit is providing a durable, elevated base that protects timber from ground moisture, preventing rot and extending structural lifespan. A potential consideration is that it requires a solid, pre-prepared surface for bolt-down installation.

FAQs

What size timber posts does this support?

This support is designed to fit 6x6" (150x150mm) posts and larger.

What is the primary benefit of using this post support?

The primary benefit is elevating timber posts off the ground, preventing moisture absorption and subsequent rot, thereby extending the lifespan of your structure.

What kind of surface can I mount this on?

It is designed for solid, flat surfaces such as concrete, paving slabs, or sturdy wooden decking. It is not suitable for soft ground or soil.

Are the mounting bolts included?

No, the mounting bolts or anchors are not included. You will need to select appropriate hardware based on your specific mounting surface (e.g., concrete anchors, lag bolts for wood).

How do I clean the post support?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coating.

What is the weight of the post support?

The weight of the post support is approximately 2.2 pounds (1 kg).

Can this be used for fences?

While primarily designed for pergolas and gazebos, it can be used for other garden structures requiring a robust, elevated post base, provided the post size is compatible.

Troubleshooting

Post support wobbles after installation

Ensure the mounting surface is level and firm. Check that all anchor bolts securing the support to the ground are tightened appropriately. Verify the post is securely fastened within the support.

Corrosion appears on the surface

While the powder coating is robust, severe damage might expose metal. Clean the affected area gently and apply a suitable metal primer and exterior paint for protection.

Bolt holes do not align with existing structure

This is common if retrofitting. You may need to drill new holes in the post or adjust the positioning of the support slightly before final anchoring, if feasible.
