Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size wooden posts does this support accommodate?

This specific model is designed to securely hold wooden posts measuring 100x100mm.

What type of fasteners should I use to mount the support?

The product does not include fasteners. You will need to use appropriate screws or bolts suitable for your specific mounting surface (e.g., concrete screws for concrete, deck screws for wood).

Can this be used on soil or grass?

No, this post support is designed for hard, solid surfaces like concrete, wood decking, or paved areas. It requires a firm base to be securely bolted down.

Does the clamp system allow for height adjustment?

The clamp system allows for securing and adjusting the post's grip, but it does not provide overall height adjustment for the post itself. The post's final height is determined by how high it is placed in the socket before tightening.

Is this product suitable for structural load-bearing applications like carports?

Yes, the heavy-duty construction is designed for stability and strength. However, for critical structures like carports, always ensure adequate number of supports are used and consult local building regulations.

How does this product prevent post rot?

The design lifts the wooden post off the ground, creating a gap that allows air circulation and prevents direct contact with moisture, thereby reducing the risk of rot and decay.

Troubleshooting

Post is wobbly after installation

Ensure the post support is securely bolted to the base surface. Check that the two clamp bolts are tightened evenly and firmly against the wooden post. Verify the post is the correct size (100x100mm) for the support.

Difficulty inserting the post into the socket

Check for any debris or obstructions inside the support socket. Ensure the post is not warped or damaged. Gently try to maneuver the post into the socket.

Corrosion observed on the metal

While powder-coated for protection, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can eventually cause minor surface corrosion. Clean the affected area and consider applying a suitable metal protector or paint if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a clean, level, and solid mounting surface (concrete, wood decking, paved areas).
  2. Position the post support where the wooden post (up to 100x100mm) needs to be located.
  3. Mark the positions of the pre-drilled holes on the surface.
  4. Securely fasten the post support to the surface using appropriate screws or bolts (not included), ensuring it is firmly fixed.
  5. Insert the wooden post into the square socket of the support.
  6. Tighten the two clamp bolts evenly to secure the post in place. Ensure the post is vertical before fully tightening.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for standard 100x100mm wooden posts.
  • Suitable for mounting on concrete, wood decking, paved surfaces, and other strong, flat substrates.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed.
  • Inspect periodically for any signs of wear or damage, especially around the clamp bolts and mounting points.
  • The powder coating offers protection, but avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
