FAQs
What size fence posts are these brackets for?
These brackets are designed to fit standard 4" x 4" garden fence posts.
How many brackets are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 30 fence panel security brackets.
Do the screws come with the brackets?
Yes, each pack includes 20 screws for installation.
Can these brackets be used for all types of fence panels?
They are designed to secure standard fence panels to posts. The effectiveness may vary with panel thickness and material. Always ensure a secure fit.
Will these brackets prevent my fence from falling over?
These brackets primarily secure the panel to the post and reduce rattle. For overall fence stability, ensure your fence posts are firmly set in the ground and that the structure is sound.
Are the brackets suitable for treated timber posts?
Yes, the galvanised steel construction is suitable for use with treated timber posts. Ensure any treatment on the wood is dry before installation.
How should I measure my fence posts to ensure compatibility?
Measure the width and depth of your fence post. These brackets are made for posts that measure approximately 4 inches by 4 inches (101.6mm x 101.6mm). The insert length is 110mm, so ensure your post can accommodate this depth.
Troubleshooting
Brackets do not fit post securely
Verify that your fence posts are exactly 4" x 4". If they are slightly larger or smaller, these brackets may not provide a snug fit. Consider alternative solutions or post replacements if dimensions are incompatible.
Screws do not seem to hold firmly
Ensure you are screwing into solid wood. If the wood is rotten or too soft, the screws may not grip. Use appropriate screws for the type of wood, or consider using wall anchors if attaching to a different material.
Fence panel still rattles
Ensure that enough brackets are installed per panel (minimum two per panel is recommended, one on each side) and that they are tightened sufficiently. Check for any significant gaps between the panel and post that might still allow movement.
