Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Dig a hole of appropriate depth and width to accommodate the 220 mm spike and allow for sufficient concrete fill.
- Position the bracket in the hole, ensuring it is plumb and at the desired height.
- Pour concrete into the hole, ensuring it surrounds the spike and base of the bracket. Use a spirit level to keep the bracket upright as the concrete sets.
- Allow the concrete to cure fully according to the concrete manufacturer's instructions (typically 24-48 hours before light load, longer for full load).
- Once cured, attach your timber post to the bracket using standard screws through the pre-drilled holes.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for use with timber posts, brickwork, and metal posts.
- Designed for direct installation into concrete or cement sleepers.
- Can be used for securing pergolas, carports, porches, fence posts, and timber sleepers.
Care:
The dual-coated epoxy finish provides excellent protection. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating. Regularly inspect for any signs of significant damage or wear, especially in harsh environmental conditions.
