Do I need special tools to install this?

No, installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic tools like a rubber mallet or hammer for securing the fit.

Troubleshooting

Extender is difficult to slide onto the post.

Ensure the top of the existing timber post is clean and free of splinters or obstructions. Gently tap the extender on with a rubber mallet if needed.

Extender feels loose or wobbly after installation.

Verify that a 75 x 75 mm post is being used. Ensure the internal fins have engaged properly; try tapping the extender down further to create a tighter grip. Check for any obstructions inside the extender or on the post.

Signs of rust appearing on the extender.

This indicates the medium corrosion protection is being compromised. Clean the affected area, remove any loose rust, and apply a rust-inhibiting primer followed by an exterior-grade paint.
