Product Information

Full details

The Loops 100 x 100mm Bolt Down Fence Post Base Plate Shoe is an essential hardware solution for DIYers and contractors looking to install fencing on existing hard surfaces. Its primary benefit is providing a stable, bolt-down mounting point that eliminates the need to dig deep holes, making it ideal for concrete patios, driveways, or paved courtyards; however, it requires a solid, level concrete surface to ensure the post remains plumb and secure.

FAQs

Can I use this on a wooden deck?

Yes, provided the deck boards are thick enough to support the weight and you use appropriate coach bolts instead of concrete expansion anchors.

Is the brown finish purely cosmetic?

No, the finish acts as a protective layer against rust and moisture, which is vital for outdoor durability.

What size drill bit do I need for the anchor bolts?

This depends on the diameter of your specific anchor bolts; always consult the bolt packaging for the recommended hole diameter.

Can this support a hanging gate?

While the base is sturdy, gates add significant leverage; it is recommended to add extra bracing or a heavier-duty post if supporting a gate.

Will this rust if it rains?

The product is designed for outdoor use and is resistant to weather, though periodic checks are recommended to maintain the finish.

Troubleshooting

The post feels wobbly after installation

Ensure the anchor bolts are fully tightened and check that the wood post has not shrunk; consider using timber shims if necessary.

Anchor bolt keeps spinning in the hole

The hole may be too wide or the concrete is crumbling; relocate the anchor to a fresh spot or use a chemical resin anchor for better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Steps

  1. Position the base plate in the desired location and mark the bolt holes with a pencil.
  2. Use a masonry drill bit sized for your chosen heavy-duty anchor bolts to drill into the concrete.
  3. Clean out dust and debris from the holes to ensure maximum grip for the anchors.
  4. Place the base plate over the holes and secure it firmly with the bolts.
  5. Insert the 100 x 100mm post into the shoe and secure it using exterior-grade wood screws through the pre-drilled side holes.

Compatibility

  • Designed strictly for 100 x 100mm square posts.
  • Use only on solid, cured concrete or stone substrates.

Maintenance

  • Regularly inspect the bolt tension to ensure they haven't loosened due to vibration.
  • Check for signs of rust at the base or screw connection points twice a year, especially after winter seasons.
