Product Information

Full details

This Taskar Fence Post Extender is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to easily increase the height of their existing 75 x 75 mm timber fence posts by up to one meter. Its key benefit is a quick-fit design with an internal grip system for secure attachment, reducing the need for complex joinery. A potential caveat is its medium corrosion protection, which may require additional treatment for harsh environments.

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.

What is the length of the extender?

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.
