Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct Bolt Down Fence Post Support is designed for DIYers and contractors looking to install 75mm fence posts onto hard surfaces like concrete, patios, or decking without the labor-intensive process of digging holes or mixing concrete. Its primary benefit is the time-saving, non-invasive installation method that keeps timber off the ground to prevent rot, though users should note that the necessary anchor bolts for fixing the base to the ground are not included in the package.

FAQs
Does this include the bolts to attach it to the ground?
No, the package does not include ground fixing bolts. You will need to purchase appropriate masonry anchors or deck screws based on your specific mounting surface.
Can I paint the support a different color?
Yes, while the unit comes in a pre-applied brown finish, it can be repainted to match your specific fence or landscaping scheme.
What is the distance between the holes in the base plate?
There is a distance of 120mm between the centers of the bolt holes on the 150mm x 150mm base plate.
Is this suitable for a 100mm post?
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for 75mm posts.
Will this prevent my fence from rotting?
By lifting the bottom of the fence post above the ground, it significantly reduces the amount of moisture the timber absorbs, which helps prevent rot and decay.
Can this be used on a wooden deck?
Yes, provided the decking structure is sound and you use appropriate bolts to fix the support to the deck joists.
Troubleshooting
Post feels wobbly after installation
Ensure the twin bolts on the side are fully tightened and verify that the base plate bolts are securely anchored to the concrete surface.
Post size does not fit
Verify that your post is exactly 75mm as specified; the support is not designed for posts larger or significantly smaller than this standard size.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your base surface is level and capable of supporting the weight of the fence or structure. Position the base plate and mark the four 11mm holes. Use appropriate masonry anchors (sold separately) to secure the support to the concrete or timber surface. Slide your 75mm post into the support and use the twin bolt system to tighten the grip until the post is held firmly in place. Regular maintenance involves checking that the twin bolts remain tight over time, especially after high-wind events, and inspecting the timber for any signs of surface weathering.
