Product Information

Full details

The Secure Fix Direct Concrete In Fence Post Support is designed for contractors and homeowners looking to install 4-inch (100mm) fence posts into concrete bases where ground-level spike installation is not feasible. This support system provides a sturdy, secure foundation for pergolas, decking, and perimeter fencing while effectively preventing timber rot by keeping posts elevated from wet ground. While these supports are highly durable, they do require a wet concrete setting process rather than simple soil insertion, which necessitates additional labor and drying time for a proper installation.

FAQs

Can these be used for posts larger than 100mm?

No, these are specifically engineered for 4-inch (100mm) square posts.

Do I need to use nails or screws to secure the post?

No, the internal wedge grip system provides a secure hold without the need for mechanical fasteners.

Can I paint the supports?

Yes, they come in brown, but the surface can be painted to match your specific fence color.

How deep should the concrete hole be?

The spike length is 209mm, so the hole should be deep enough to allow for a significant concrete anchor beneath the support, typically 300mm+ depending on load.

Are these suitable for soft soil?

These are designed to be set in concrete. They are not intended for direct burial in soft soil without a concrete foundation.

Does the pack include concrete mix?

No, this pack contains 2 support brackets only.

Troubleshooting

Post feels loose within the grip

Ensure you are using standard 100mm posts. If the post is slightly under-sized, consider using wood shims to ensure the wedge grips firmly.

Support is tilted after concrete dries

Use a spirit level on at least two perpendicular sides of the support while the concrete is still wet to ensure perfect vertical alignment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for screws or nails to secure posts
  • Protects timber bases from moisture-related rot
  • Heavy-duty construction with concrete anchor fins
  • Neutral finish blends easily with wood posts
  • Perfect for locations unsuitable for drive-in spikes

Cons

  • Requires professional or DIY concrete mixing and pouring
  • Permanent installation requires longer setup time
  • Limited to 100mm (4-inch) post dimensions
  • Cannot be easily relocated once the concrete has cured

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these supports, prepare a hole at least 12 inches deep and fill it with high-quality concrete. Place the support into the wet mix, ensuring it is perfectly level before the concrete begins to set. Once the concrete has hardened, simply insert your 100mm (4-inch) timber post into the cradle. The internal wedge will naturally tighten around the post. Ensure your timber is accurately sized; these are strictly for 100mm square posts. For maintenance, periodically inspect the wedge area for debris and ensure that no moisture is pooling at the base of the post, though the design is specifically created to mitigate this risk.
