This Gezu Impex Bolt Down Post Bracket is designed for securely fixing square posts and fence posts, offering a sturdy foundation for timber constructions up to 1.50m. Ideal for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike, it ensures stable installations for fences, decks, and other timber structures. A key benefit is its hot-dip galvanization for superior weather protection. However, it requires a stable base like concrete for optimal performance, and careful attention to under-ventilation is crucial to prevent moisture issues.

The primary purpose is to provide a secure, elevated, and weather-resistant mounting solution for square timber posts, such as those used in fences or deck structures.
This specific model is designed for 71 x 71 mm square posts. Other sizes are available for different post dimensions.
The bracket itself is bolted down to a pre-existing stable base like concrete. The post is then secured inside the bracket. Direct concreting of the bracket is not the standard method; it's designed to attach to a solid foundation.
Hot-dip galvanization is a process that coats the steel with a layer of zinc, providing excellent protection against rust and corrosion from exposure to moisture and the elements, thus extending the product's lifespan.
The product is ideal for timber constructions up to 1.50 meters in height.
No, this bracket is specifically designed for square posts with precise dimensions to ensure a secure fit.
The material thickness is 1.8 mm, contributing to the bracket's overall strength and durability.
Ensure the base plate is securely fastened to the foundation. Verify that the post is properly secured within the sleeve using screws through the side holes.
While hot-dip galvanization is robust, severe damage can expose the steel. Minor surface rust can often be cleaned, but significant corrosion may indicate the need for replacement. Ensure proper ventilation to minimize moisture-related corrosion.
Check if the post dimensions precisely match the sleeve dimensions. Ensure the sleeve is not deformed and the post is aligned correctly. Minor adjustments might be needed.
Ensure the post does not sit directly on the bottom of the sleeve. Maintain adequate clearance for air circulation. If installed on a slope, ensure proper drainage away from the base.
