FAQs
What size fence posts do these brackets fit?
These Woodside fence panel security brackets are designed to fit standard 4" x 4" garden fence posts.
How many brackets are in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 fence panel security brackets.
Are screws included with the brackets?
Yes, each pack comes with 20 screws for installation.
What is the material of the brackets?
The brackets are made from high-strength galvanised steel, which provides durability and resistance to rust and corrosion.
Can these brackets be used for different types of fencing?
They are designed for standard fence panels and posts. While they will secure the panel to the post, compatibility depends on the panel's edge and post dimensions.
How do these brackets help with noise?
By securely fastening the fence panel to the post, the brackets prevent the panel from moving and vibrating, which significantly reduces rattling noise caused by wind.
Verify that your fence posts are indeed 4" x 4". These brackets are designed exclusively for this standard size. If your posts are larger or smaller, these brackets will not fit.
Screws are difficult to drive
Ensure you are using appropriate tools (e.g., a drill with a suitable bit). If resistance is high, pre-drilling a pilot hole in the fence post (if it's hardwood) can make insertion easier. Confirm the screws are aligned with the bracket holes.
Panel still rattles after installation
Ensure brackets are securely fastened. Check that the panel is properly seated and not warped. Consider adding more brackets, especially for taller or wider panels, or in very exposed locations.
Visible rust spots appearing
While galvanised steel is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure in harsh conditions or damage to the coating can lead to surface rust. Minor spots can often be cleaned, but significant rust may indicate the need for replacement over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your fence posts are standard 4" x 4" dimensions.
Position the fence panel against the post.
Align one Woodside bracket over the point where the panel meets the post, ensuring it sits flush.
Use the provided screws to secure the bracket through its pre-drilled holes into both the post and the fence panel edge.
Repeat this process for sufficient points along the panel height and for all panels requiring reinforcement.
