FAQs

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a suitable tool to drive the support into the ground (e.g., a post driver or sledgehammer) and tools to secure the fence post to the support.

What type of soil is best for these supports?

These supports work best in moderately firm soil. Avoid extremely rocky or compacted soil.

Can these supports be used with concrete?

No, these supports are designed to be installed directly into the ground, eliminating the need for concrete.

How long will the supports last?

The supports are made of steel, providing durability. Their lifespan depends on soil conditions and care, but they are designed for long-term use.

Are fixings included?

No, fixings to secure the fence post to the support are not included and must be purchased separately.

How do I remove the supports?

Removal can be difficult. You may need to use a lever or digging tool to remove them from the ground.

What is the maximum post height?

The maximum post height depends on soil conditions, wind exposure, and the weight of the fence. Consider these factors when choosing the post height.

Troubleshooting

Support is not stable.

Ensure the support is driven deep enough into the ground. Check the soil conditions; very loose soil may require additional support measures.

Post is wobbly.

Tighten the fixings securing the post to the support. Check that the post is the correct size for the support.
