FAQs
How many brackets are in this pack?
This pack contains two (2) Nicoman Metal Fence Post Support Brackets.
Do I need to buy screws or nails separately?
Yes, screws or nails to attach the bracket to the fence post are not included and will need to be purchased separately. Ensure they are suitable for outdoor use and the type of fence post material.
Can these be used on metal fence posts?
These brackets are primarily designed for wooden fence posts. While they might be adaptable to some metal posts with modifications, their intended use is with timber.
What is the warranty period for these brackets?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
How deep should the stake be driven into the ground?
Ideally, the stake should be driven as deep as practical into firm ground, typically at least 12-18 inches (30-45 cm), to provide maximum stability. Ensure it is securely anchored.
Will the black coating chip easily?
The powder-coated finish is designed for durability. While extreme impact could cause chipping, normal use and installation should not result in significant coating damage.
Troubleshooting
Bracket stake is difficult to drive into the ground.
Ensure the ground is not excessively hard or rocky. If it is, consider softening the ground with water or choosing a slightly different location. A heavier mallet may also help.
Fence post still leaning after installation.
Verify that the bracket stake is driven deep enough into the ground. Ensure the bracket is securely fastened to the post with screws or nails. The post itself may have significant rot or damage that needs addressing.
Rust appears on the bracket.
While the powder coating offers resistance, deep scratches or prolonged exposure in highly corrosive environments can lead to rust. Minor rust can be lightly sanded and repainted with a metal-specific paint. Significant structural rust may indicate the bracket needs replacement.
The bracket doesn't fit snugly against the post.
This is usually resolved by securing the bracket to the post with appropriate fasteners (screws or nails) after driving the stake. Ensure you use fasteners of adequate length and gauge for your post type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Position the bracket: Place the bracket against the fence post, aligning the stake with the ground adjacent to the post.
Drive the stake: Using a hammer or mallet, carefully drive the integrated stake into the ground until it is firmly embedded. Ensure the post remains vertical during this process.
Secure to post (optional but recommended): For maximum stability, use appropriate screws or nails (not included) to fix the bracket to the fence post itself.
Compatibility:
These brackets are designed for use with standard wooden fence posts. Ensure the post is not significantly rotted or damaged at the base before installation.
They are suitable for installation in most soil types, but performance may be reduced in very soft, sandy, or waterlogged ground. Additional measures might be needed in such conditions.
Compatible with most existing fence structures and suitable for new builds.
Care:
The black powder-coated finish provides excellent rust and weather resistance. No special care is typically required.
Periodically inspect the brackets and surrounding area for any signs of instability or damage.
If the bracket becomes excessively dirty, it can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
