Bolt Down Post Support – Steel – Outdoor Installations

Product Overview

This heavy duty bolt down post support features a 100mm x 100mm internal socket, designed to securely fasten timber fence posts to hard surfaces where ground fixing is not feasible. Crafted from heavy-gauge steel and hot-dip galvanized for superior corrosion resistance, it offers a stable and durable mounting base for structural timber posts.

The rigid box section socket ensures precise post alignment, with pre-drilled base holes facilitating easy anchoring to concrete, decking, or paving. Ideal for patios, driveways, and paved areas where concrete embedment is not possible. It accommodates standard heavy-duty timber posts used in boundary or gate installations.

Features & Benefits

• Galvanized 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 galvanized steel with welded joints for enhanced strength and rigidity.
• Corrosion Protection: Hot-dip galvanized 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.
