Product Information

Full details

The SecureFix Direct Bolt Down Fence Post Support is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable method to install fence posts, pergolas, or deck railings onto solid surfaces like concrete, tarmac, or wooden decking. Its primary benefit is the raised design that keeps wooden posts elevated, preventing moisture-induced rot and decay. While highly durable, users should note that this product is intended strictly for mounting onto pre-existing flat, solid surfaces and is not suitable for direct ground burial.

Troubleshooting

Post feels loose after installation

Tighten the bolt grip mechanism on the side of the support to ensure it is clamping the timber firmly.

Base plate is not sitting flat

Ensure the underlying concrete or deck surface is level. If not, use shims to provide a stable foundation before bolting down.

Signs of surface rust appearing

Clean the area with a wire brush and apply a rust-inhibiting exterior metal paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents timber rot by elevating posts from ground moisture
  • Easy bolt-down installation for DIY projects
  • Strong bolt grip mechanism ensures post stability
  • Durable finish resistant to rust and corrosion
  • Versatile use for fencing, pergolas, and deck structures

Cons

  • Requires a solid, level surface for proper installation
  • Not suitable for direct soil or grass installation
  • May require additional heavy-duty bolts depending on the surface material

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your surface is level and clean. Place the support in the desired position and mark the mounting holes through the base plate. Use masonry drill bits if mounting to concrete. Once the base is secured with appropriate anchors, insert your timber post and tighten the side bolt grip until firm. For maintenance, periodically inspect the bolt grip to ensure it remains tight as the wood settles or dries out. Although the finish is corrosion-resistant, applying a clear coat or touch-up paint if the surface is scratched can further extend the lifespan of the support.
