Product Overview
Bolt Down Post Support with a 100mm x 100mm internal socket designed for securing timber fence posts to hard surfaces where ground fixing is not possible. Manufactured from heavy-gauge steel and hot-dip galvanised for corrosion protection, it provides a stable and durable mounting base for structural timber posts.
The rigid box section socket ensures accurate post alignment, while pre-drilled base holes allow straightforward anchoring to concrete, decking, or paving. Ideal for patios, driveways, and paved areas where concrete embedment cannot be achieved.
Internal size of 100mm x 100mm (4" x 4") suits standard heavy-duty timber posts used in boundary or gate installations.
Features & Benefits
- Galvanised steel construction: Provides high corrosion resistance and ensures reliable long-term outdoor performance.
- Rigid box section socket: Maintains post alignment and prevents movement under load.
- Bolt-down base plate: Enables secure fixing to existing hard surfaces without excavation.
- Pre-drilled fixing holes: Allow straightforward anchoring using expansion bolts or coach screws.
- Internal socket size 100mm x 100mm (4" x 4"): Accommodates heavy-section timber posts for robust structural stability.
Applications
- Timber fence post mounting: Provides a stable, non-dig installation on hardstanding areas.
- Gate post fixing: Supports heavy gate structures where post embedment is impractical.
- Decking and balustrade support: Secures vertical posts to timber or composite decking systems.
Installation Guidance
- Surface preparation: Ensure the substrate is level, clean, and capable of bearing load before installation.
- Positioning: Align the support plate to the required line before marking fixing holes.
- Fixing: Drill and insert suitable masonry or timber anchors through the base plate holes.
- Post fitting: Insert the post fully into the socket and secure with through-bolts or coach screws.
Compliance & Performance
- Material specification: Heavy-gauge galvanised steel with welded joints for enhanced strength and rigidity.
- Corrosion protection: Hot-dip galvanised coating for long-term resistance to rust and environmental exposure.
- Load performance: Suitable for domestic and light structural use under standard wind and impact conditions.
- Important note: Ensure fixings are appropriate for the substrate and post size to maintain full load capacity.
