FAQs

What type of fixings should I use?

You will need appropriate bolts and washers suitable for securing the post support to concrete. The size and type will depend on the concrete and the load your fence will bear.

Can I use this on a wooden deck?

No, this support is designed for concrete bases only.

Is the post support treated against rust?

The steel has a grey finish which provides some protection against the elements, but it is advisable to inspect it regularly for any signs of corrosion, especially in harsh weather conditions.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a drill, drill bits appropriate for the concrete, a wrench or socket set, a level, and a measuring tape.

What is the recommended spacing between post supports?

Spacing depends on the length of your fence and the weight of the posts and panels. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for your fence panels and posts.

How do I maintain the appearance of the post support?

Clean the support regularly with mild soapy water and a soft cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Is the finish paintable?

Yes, the finish is paintable. You can repaint the support with an exterior-grade paint to match your fence or surroundings.

Troubleshooting

Post support feels loose after installation.

Check the bolts securing the support to the concrete and tighten them if necessary. Ensure the concrete base is structurally sound.

The post is not sitting straight.
