FAQs
What size wooden posts can this support?
This specific model is designed for 75 x 75 mm wooden posts.
Does it come with screws or anchors to attach to the ground?
No, fasteners for attaching the base plate to the ground surface are not included. You will need to use appropriate screws or anchors suitable for your specific base material (concrete, wood, etc.).
Can I use this on soft soil or grass?
No, this product is designed for hard, solid surfaces like concrete, decking, or paving. It requires a stable base to function correctly.
How do I prevent the wooden post from rotting?
The design of the post support lifts the wooden post off the ground, preventing direct contact with moisture and soil, which significantly reduces the risk of rot.
What is the material and finish of the post support?
It is made from heavy-duty metal with a powder coating for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
Can I adjust the post position after installation?
Yes, the twin-bolt clamp system allows for easy adjustments or removal of the post without damaging it.
What other sizes or colors are available?
Gezu Impex offers this type of post support in various sizes (e.g., 71x71 mm, 100x100 mm) and colors (e.g., Silver, Black) to suit different needs.
Troubleshooting
Post is wobbly after installation
Ensure the base plate is securely fastened to the ground. Re-tighten the twin clamp bolts and check that the post is centered within the socket.
Cannot secure the post tightly
Verify that the post dimensions match the socket size (75 x 75 mm). Ensure the clamp bolts are fully engaged and tightened appropriately.
Base plate does not sit level
The underlying surface is likely uneven. Remove the support and level the ground or use shims before re-securing the base plate.
Corrosion observed on the metal
While powder coating provides protection, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can lead to minor corrosion. Clean the affected area and consider applying a suitable metal sealant or paint for further protection.
