FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this post support?

Its primary purpose is to securely anchor and precisely level timber posts for outdoor structures like pergolas, gazebos, and decking, especially on uneven ground.

What size timber posts can this support accommodate?

This support is designed to accommodate timber posts with dimensions of 130 x 130 mm.

Does it require a concrete foundation?

Yes, this post support requires a solid concrete or masonry foundation for secure installation.

Is this suitable for supporting horizontal loads?

No, this post support is engineered for vertical loads only and is not designed to withstand significant lateral or horizontal forces.

How does the height adjustment work?

The height adjustment is achieved via a screw-on sleeve mechanism that allows for fine-tuning the post's vertical position to achieve perfect leveling.

What material is it made from and how is it protected?

It is made from high-quality S235 steel and features a hot-dip galvanised coating (Fe/Zn 12) with a black powder-coated finish for excellent resistance to rust and corrosion.

Can this be used for fence posts?

Yes, it is ideal for fence posts, ensuring consistent alignment and stability, especially on varied terrain.

Troubleshooting

Post is not level after adjustment

Ensure the concrete foundation is stable and level. Double-check that the adjustment mechanism is fully engaged and tightened. Verify the post is correctly seated within the sleeve.

Signs of rust or corrosion

While galvanised steel offers protection, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may cause minor surface rust. Clean the affected area and consider applying a metal-specific anti-corrosion paint for added protection.

Difficulty inserting timber post

Ensure the timber post dimensions do not exceed the 130 x 130 mm internal sleeve size. Check for any debris or obstructions within the sleeve. Slight sanding of the post might be necessary if it's a very tight fit.

Support feels unstable

Verify that the support is securely fastened to a solid concrete foundation. Ensure all adjustment mechanisms are tightened. Confirm the structure is only subjected to vertical loads as intended.
