FAQs

What size wooden posts can this support accommodate?

This specific model is designed for wooden posts with dimensions of 100 x 100 mm.

What type of fixings should I use to mount the support?

The type of fixings depends on your mounting surface. For concrete, use concrete screws or anchor bolts. For wood decking, use appropriate lag bolts. Always ensure your fixings are corrosion-resistant.

Do I need to dig holes for this post support?

No, the primary advantage of this bolt-down support is that it fixes directly to a hard surface, eliminating the need for digging holes.

Can this be used on uneven ground?

It is designed for use on solid, level surfaces. If your ground is uneven, you will need to create a level base (e.g., with concrete) before mounting the support.

How do I adjust or replace a post once it's installed?

Simply loosen the two clamp bolts using a wrench. This will allow you to slide the post out for adjustment or replacement. Once done, retighten the bolts securely.

Is the silver finish durable?

The support features a powder coating for durability and resistance to corrosion and UV damage. However, like any exterior finish, it can be scratched or chipped over time. Regular checks and touch-ups can help maintain its longevity.

Can this be used for structural elements like carports?

Yes, it provides a heavy-duty and stable solution suitable for various outdoor structures, including fence posts, pergolas, deck supports, and carports, provided the base is adequately prepared and secured.

Troubleshooting

Post is wobbly after installation

Ensure the post support is securely fastened to the base surface and that the twin clamp bolts are tightened firmly against the wooden post. Check that the base surface is level.

Difficulty fitting the post into the socket

Verify that the wooden post dimensions are within the 100 x 100 mm specification of the support and that the socket is free from debris. Slight sanding of the post edges may be required if the fit is very tight.

Mounting holes do not align with desired position

Reposition the post support before drilling. If holes are already drilled, you may need to use alternative mounting hardware or slightly adjust the post's final position if feasible.

Corrosion observed on the metal

Clean the affected area. If the powder coating is chipped, sand the area lightly and apply an exterior-grade metal primer and paint to prevent further rust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a flat, stable, and level surface.
  2. Position the post support in the desired location.
  3. Mark the positions of the pre-drilled holes onto the surface.
  4. Drill holes appropriate for your chosen fixings (e.g., concrete screws, lag bolts).
  5. Secure the post support to the surface using suitable hardware.
  6. Place the wooden post into the square socket.
  7. Tighten the twin clamp bolts to secure the post firmly in place.

Compatibility:

Care:

Clean with a damp cloth as needed. Periodically check the clamp bolts and mounting fixings for tightness. Inspect the powder coating for any damage that could expose the metal; touch up with appropriate exterior paint if necessary to prevent corrosion.
