Product Information

Full details

This Gezu Impex Swift Clamp Bolt Down Post Support is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and builders needing to secure wooden posts onto hard surfaces like concrete or decking without digging. Its key benefit is providing robust, stable support while lifting posts off the ground to prevent moisture damage. A minor consideration is that it requires appropriate fixings (screws/bolts) for the surface, which are not included. This support features a heavy-duty metal construction with powder coating for durability, a twin-bolt clamp system for secure post fixing and easy adjustment, and a design that elevates posts to prevent rot.

FAQs

What size wooden posts can this support?

This specific model supports posts up to 100x100 mm. Please check product specifications for other variants.

Do I need to dig holes for this post support?

No, the primary advantage of this bolt-down post support is that it fixes directly to hard surfaces without the need for digging.

What fixings are needed to attach the base to the ground?

You will need appropriate screws or bolts suitable for the surface you are mounting onto (e.g., concrete screws for concrete, lag bolts for wood). These are not included with the post support.

How do I adjust the post if it's not straight?

Loosen the two clamp bolts slightly, adjust the post to the desired vertical position, and then re-tighten the bolts evenly and securely.

Can this be used on soft ground?

This product is designed for hard, solid surfaces like concrete, decking, or paved areas. It is not suitable for soft ground where a more traditional foundation would be required.

What is the purpose of the powder coating?

The powder coating provides protection against corrosion, rust, and UV damage, significantly extending the lifespan of the metal post support when used outdoors.

Troubleshooting

Post feels wobbly after installation

Ensure both clamp bolts are tightened securely and evenly. Verify that the base is firmly attached to the ground surface with appropriate fixings. Check if the post fits snugly within the socket or if shims are needed.

Difficulty inserting the post into the socket

Check for any debris or obstructions within the socket. Ensure the post is not warped or damaged. Slightly loosen the clamp bolts to create more space if necessary.

Base is not sitting level on the surface

The mounting surface may be uneven. Use shims if necessary to achieve a level installation. Ensure the surface itself is stable and not compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent stability for wooden posts on hard surfaces.
  • Prevents post rot and decay by keeping wood elevated.
  • Durable construction withstands outdoor elements and heavy loads.
  • Adjustable clamp system allows for easy post modifications.
  • Eliminates the need for digging, saving time and effort.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of appropriate screws or bolts for mounting.
  • Not suitable for soft ground or areas where a deeper foundation is required.
  • May require specific tools for installation depending on the mounting surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Position the post support on the desired hard surface (e.g., concrete slab, wooden deck).
  2. Mark the locations of the pre-drilled holes onto the surface.
  3. Secure the post support to the surface using appropriate screws or bolts suitable for the material (not included).
  4. Insert the wooden post into the square socket of the support.
  5. Tighten the two clamp bolts evenly to secure the post firmly in place. Ensure the post is vertical before fully tightening.

Compatibility:

This post support is designed for use with standard dimensional lumber posts. The socket size is suitable for posts up to 100x100 mm. It is compatible with concrete, paving stones, wood decking, and other solid, level surfaces. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the intended structure.

Care:

Periodically check the clamp bolts for tightness. Clean the powder-coated surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating. Inspect for any signs of corrosion and address promptly if noted.
