Product Information

Full details

The SecureFix Direct Fence Post Support Spike Holder is an ideal solution for homeowners and professional landscapers looking to install 4-inch (100mm) timber fencing posts efficiently without the labor-intensive process of digging holes or mixing concrete. Its primary benefit is the 4-fin, 29.5-inch ground spike that provides exceptional stability and structural integrity, though users should be aware that it is intended for use in solid ground types rather than loose, sandy, or heavily rocky soil where a concrete footing may be necessary for structural load-bearing.

FAQs

Can I use this for fence posts larger than 100mm?

No, this unit is specifically engineered for 100mm (4-inch) timber posts.

Do I need to dig a hole?

No, the spike is designed to be driven directly into the ground using a sledgehammer and a protective driving tool.

Will this work in sandy soil?

These spikes rely on soil compaction for stability. In very loose, sandy, or boggy ground, they may not provide enough support to keep a fence vertical.

Can I paint the spikes to match my fence?

Yes, you can apply an exterior-grade metal paint to the support holder to match your preferred color scheme.

Are these reusable if I move my fence?

Yes, the twin-bolt design allows you to remove the timber posts easily, and the spikes can be extracted and relocated, provided they were not damaged during initial installation.

How long is the actual spike portion?

The spike section is 29.5 inches (749mm) long, providing deep anchorage for stability.

Troubleshooting

The spike hits a stone or obstacle while driving it into the ground.

Stop immediately. Do not force the spike as it may bend the fins. Remove it and try a position a few inches away.

The timber post feels wobbly after being bolted in.

Ensure the bolts are tightened evenly and check that the post is a true 100mm measurement; undersized posts may require small timber shims to achieve a tight fit.

The spike is not going into the ground straight.

Use a spirit level during the first few inches of driving. If it begins to lean, use a heavy pry bar to adjust the angle before driving deeper.

  • Requires a driving tool to protect the top of the spike during installation
  • Limited to 100mm (4-inch) square timber posts only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure long-lasting performance, follow these guidelines:

Setup Requirements

  • Post Size: Only use with 100mm x 100mm (4-inch) timber posts.
  • Driving Tool: Use a suitable driving dolly or a block of wood over the top of the spike to prevent metal deformation while striking with a sledgehammer.
  • Ground Check: Ensure the area is free of large underground stones or utility pipes before attempting to drive the 29.5-inch spike.

Care and Maintenance

  • Bolt Inspection: Periodically check the twin-bolts to ensure they remain tight, especially after high-wind events.
  • Corrosion Check: Although designed for exterior use, it is wise to clear away excessive soil debris from around the base to prevent moisture accumulation.
  • Painting: If the brown finish chips over time, use an exterior-grade metal paint to touch up the exposed steel and prevent rust.
