The Gezu Impex Post Support Spike is designed for homeowners and landscapers seeking a reliable, concrete-free method to anchor wooden posts for garden structures, fencing, or signage. By elevating the base of your timber, this support effectively minimizes moisture contact and prevents premature rot, ensuring a longer lifespan for your wooden installations. While it offers a convenient and sturdy foundation, it is best suited for firm, stable soil and may require extra stabilization in loose or overly sandy ground conditions.

No, this product is designed specifically to eliminate the need for concrete.
The pre-drilled holes have a diameter of 11 mm.
This spike is best for light-to-medium structures like fence posts or signs. For heavy-duty load-bearing pergolas, you may require additional structural bracing or concrete foundations.
Yes, it is finished with a hot-dip galvanised coating, which provides excellent protection against corrosion and weather.
Yes, the spike can be pulled out, though it may require a significant amount of force or a jack if it has been driven deep into compacted soil.
Immediately stop driving and use a lever to adjust the angle before it is too deep. If it persists, remove and clear potential stones from the hole.
Ensure the post is sized correctly for the square socket. You may use thin timber shims to fill minor gaps before securing with screws.
Use a cold-galvanising spray or touch-up paint to seal the exposed steel and prevent rust from forming on the scratch.
To install, clear the area of debris and place the spike in the desired position. Use a driving tool or a heavy mallet, ideally with a piece of scrap wood over the head of the spike to protect the galvanised finish during the driving process. Ensure the socket is level at every stage of the descent. Once installed, insert your wooden post into the square socket, align it vertically, and secure it by driving screws through the pre-drilled 11 mm holes. To maintain the structural integrity, periodically inspect the screws for any signs of loosening or corrosion, and check the base of the post for any moisture accumulation if the ground level has shifted.
