Practical Applications

The Fixman Bolt Down Clamping Garden Fence Metal Post Shoe suits garden fence posts, repairs, and new fencing on hard surfaces. Its strong build gives consistent results in gardens, driveways, patios, and other outdoor areas.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This post shoe is used during the installation phase of fence building or repair work. After surface preparation and before post insertion, it provides the fixed base that will hold the timber upright.

It forms part of a system where the shoe is first bolted to the hard surface, then the timber post is inserted and clamped in place, creating a complete support structure without ground excavation.

How to Use

1. Prepare the Surface: Clean the area where the post shoe will be installed. Remove debris and loose material. For heavy grime, use a masonry and concrete cleaner.
2. Position the Shoe: Place the metal shoe flat on the surface, aligning it with the desired position for the timber post.
3. Secure the Base: Use appropriate bolts to fasten the shoe firmly onto the surface. Fill low spots first if the base is not flat. A fast-setting repair mortar helps support the shoe.
4. Insert the Timber Post: Slide a 4-inch post into the shoe until it fits snugly against the sides.
5. Tighten Bolts: Adjust the two clamping bolts to secure the post firmly in place and keep it upright.

Storage and Maintenance

• Keep the product in a dry location when not in use to maintain its protective coating.
• Regularly inspect for dirt build-up or signs of wear, cleaning the surface as needed.
• Apply a rust-preventative treatment periodically if used in high-moisture environments.

Not Suitable For

• Soft or uneven ground that cannot provide a stable base for bolting
• Timber posts larger than 4 inches in diameter
• Applications requiring traditional concrete footings
• Areas without access to hard surfaces like concrete or paved areas
