Product Information

Full details

The AB Tools Bolt Down Post Support is designed for homeowners and contractors who need to install fencing, decking, or carports on existing hard surfaces like concrete without the labor-intensive process of digging or pouring cement. This sturdy metal support provides excellent structural integrity and protects timber from ground rot, though users should ensure their existing surface is level and structurally sound enough to support the weight of the structure before installation.

FAQs

Can I use this for a post larger than 75mm?

No, this support is specifically precision-engineered for 75mm x 75mm posts. A larger post will not fit.

Does this come with bolts for the ground?

No, you will need to purchase the appropriate bolts for your specific base material (e.g., masonry anchors for concrete).

Is this suitable for a tall fence in an exposed area?

While it provides strong support, very high fences in extremely windy areas may require additional bracing or deeper foundation methods.

Can I paint this support?

Yes, it is suitable for over-painting if you wish to change the color to match your fence or decking.

Can I install this on soil?

No, this product is designed for hard, flat surfaces only. It will not provide adequate stability in soil.

Troubleshooting

Post feels wobbly inside the bracket

Ensure that the two side-bolts are tightened fully. If the post is slightly undersized, you may need to use thin packing shims to achieve a snug fit.

Support bracket is not sitting flush with the ground

Check if the mounting surface has debris or is uneven. Clear the area before bolting and use a level to ensure the bracket is vertical.

Visible rust appearing on the surface

Small surface scratches can be touched up with a matching outdoor metal paint to prevent further corrosion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No digging or concrete pouring required
  • Easy to remove or replace posts if damaged
  • Protects timber from ground rot and moisture
  • Durable powder-coated finish
  • Can be painted over to match aesthetic preferences

Cons

  • Requires a solid, level concrete or timber surface for mounting
  • Not suitable for soft ground or soil applications
  • Does not provide the lateral depth of an in-ground concrete post

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your support, ensure you have a masonry drill bit and appropriate anchor bolts suited for your specific surface material. The bracket is designed exclusively for 75mm x 75mm timber posts.

Care instructions are straightforward: Periodically check the two-bolt side fasteners to ensure they remain tight, as timber can naturally shrink or expand due to weather changes. While the brown powder coating is weather-resistant, you may apply an external-grade metal paint if you wish to change the color or refresh the finish after several years of exposure to harsh UV rays.
