Product Information

Full details

The SecureFix Direct Bolt Down Fence Post Holders are designed for DIYers and professional landscapers looking to install 4-inch (100mm) timber posts onto existing concrete bases or walls. By utilizing a robust bolt-down design, these holders eliminate the need for laborious digging or messy concrete mixing, effectively keeping wooden posts elevated to prevent rot and decay. While they offer a highly efficient installation process, users should note that the ground fixings required to mount the base plate to the concrete surface are not included in the set.

FAQs

Are the bolts to fix the base to the concrete included?

No, this set includes the bolts for the post-grip system, but ground fixings for mounting to the concrete must be purchased separately.

Can I use these for 100mm posts?

Yes, these are specifically designed for 4-inch (100mm) timber posts.

Is the finish weather-resistant?

Yes, the brown finish is a durable coating designed to protect the steel from outdoor elements while blending with the wood.

Can I install these directly into soil?

No, these are bolt-down supports designed strictly for hard, level surfaces like concrete or solid stone.

How many supports are in this package?

This set contains 10 individual fence post supports.

Will these prevent my fence posts from rotting?

Yes, by holding the post above the ground, it prevents moisture from wicking up into the wood, which is the primary cause of rot.

Troubleshooting

The post feels wobbly after installation.

Check that the ground anchors are tightened fully into the concrete and ensure the twin-bolts on the side of the holder are firmly pressing against the timber.

The post does not fit into the holder.

Verify that your timber posts are exactly 100mm (4 inches). If the timber is pressure-treated and swollen, allow it to dry slightly or lightly sand the edges.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for digging holes or mixing concrete
  • Protects wooden posts from rot by lifting them above the surface
  • Twin-bolt system provides high stability for vertical posts
  • Professional brown finish blends seamlessly with timber
  • Quick installation process suitable for DIY projects

Cons

  • Ground anchor bolts for concrete mounting are not included
  • Requires a perfectly level concrete surface for optimal stability
  • Not suitable for use in soil or loose ground

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your concrete surface is clean and level. Position the support and mark the four 11mm bolt holes through the base plate. Use a masonry drill bit to create the pilot holes for your chosen ground anchors. Once the support is fixed to the ground, slide your 100mm timber post into the holder and tighten the two side bolts evenly to lock it in place. Periodically check the bolts after the first few weeks of use, as timber may shrink slightly over time, requiring a minor re-tightening to maintain a firm grip.
