No, these brackets are specifically designed for square-profile timber.
These brackets are designed to support extensions of up to 1.2 metres.
No, fixings are not included. You should use exterior-grade coach bolts or heavy-duty wood screws suitable for your timber type.
Yes, it features a grey powder-coated finish for improved weather and rust resistance.
Check that the timber is exactly 70x70mm and verify all fasteners are tightened fully. If wobble persists, consider adding additional brackets or bracing.
Clean the affected area with a wire brush, remove any loose paint, and apply a high-quality exterior metal primer and paint.
To install, clear any debris or rot from the top of the existing post. Align the bracket against the existing post and the extension piece, ensuring the extension is perfectly plumb. Use heavy-duty coach bolts or appropriately sized exterior-grade wood screws through the pre-drilled holes.
Compatibility is strictly limited to 70 x 70mm timber; using undersized or warped timber may result in a loose connection. To care for the brackets, perform an annual inspection to ensure fasteners remain tight and the powder coating has not been compromised by deep scratches, which should be touched up with exterior-grade metal paint to prevent rust.
