Troubleshooting

The post support is wobbly after installation.

Check the concrete base for stability and ensure that the bolts are tightened correctly. The post may need to be adjusted or re-secured.

The post doesn't fit into the support.

Verify the post size matches the support's internal dimensions (45mm). If necessary, trim the post slightly or use a different sized support.

Rust or corrosion appears on the support.

Clean the area with a wire brush and apply a rust-resistant paint to protect the metal. Inspect and replace if necessary.

Use a level to ensure the post is plumb before securing. Temporary bracing can help maintain alignment during installation.
